Steve A Fromm

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Steve is a computational astrophysicist in the Advanced Computing for Nuclear, Particles, and Astrophysics group.  He earned his Ph.D. in Physics and Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering from Michigan State University in 2024 while working on improved methods for general relativistic radiation hydrodynamics in simulations of neutron star mergers and core-collapse supernovae.  His research interests include nuclear astrophysics, numerical relativity, and high-performance computing.
