The Center for Simulational Physics is unique in its approach to the investigation of physical systems. Many fascinating physical phenomena defy analysis by traditional approaches, particularly near phase transitions and in strongly interacting many-body systems. The Center for Simulational Physics makes extensive use of state-of-the-art computers to develop and solve models that mimic observed behavior and incorporate theory. The result is a realistic description of the behavior of materials and phenomena that cannot otherwise be measured or observed in detail
Prof. Cassandra Hall’s recent discovery about the observational signature of a planet formation mechanism called gravitational instability, published recently in Nature, has been featured in the New York Times.
