The majority of chemical elements in the human body were made in a star
billions of years ago. Stars are also the progenitors of more exotic
astrophysical objects such as neutron stars and black holes.
Understanding the life and death of stars requires combining knowledge
of fluid mechanics, nuclear physics, quantum mechanical processes, and
more. Novel mathematical techniques and supercomputers are therefore
necessary to simulate the life of a star. In this seminar, I will
motivate and present my Hakubi research about 3D simulations of stars
that leave behind neutron stars and black holes when they die.
