Hi! I'm Don Willcox, a project scientist in the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering (CCSE) in the Computational Research Division at Berkeley Lab. My research in computational astrophysics includes algorithms for nuclear burning, solving PDEs on adaptive meshes, and neutrino quantum kinetics. I also develop methods for accelerating these algorithms for GPU-based supercomputers. Most recently, I've also joined the ERF project developing code for mesoscale atmospheric modelling. Before joining Berkeley Lab, I completed my PhD in Physics at Stony Brook University in August 2018 working on thermonuclear supernovae modeling and the convective Urca process in white dwarf stars.
