    Biography

    Dr Adam Griffiths obtained his PhD from the University of Valencia, where he performed 3D simulations of massive stars immediately prior to core collapse. His interests lie in understanding the behaviour of rotation and magnetic fields in massive stars and how they affect supernova explosions caused by iron core collapse. He is also active in the stellar evolution community as a developer of the stellar evolution code GENEC. His current research focuses on improving 1D stellar models by using the results of 3D simulations to inform parameter choices and physics modelling, particularly in the context of rotation and magnetism. He is also a developer of the 3D, GPU accelerated, hydrodynamic code PROMPI.
