Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMeridith Joyce is an Assistant Professor at the University of Wyoming bridging Physics & Astronomy and Computing, with a decade of experience in computational stellar physics and high-performance scientific software. She develops and applies Python and Fortran-based HPC tools and advanced data-analysis methods to model stellar evolution and internal mixing, using asteroseismology to probe stellar ages and inform cosmic chronologies. Her postdoctoral path includes a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship at Konkoly Observatory and a Lasker Data Science Fellowship at STScI, reflecting a strong record of independent, interdisciplinary research. Known for translating complex numerical codes into robust pipelines, she combines deep domain expertise with hands-on software engineering—an asset for both research collaborations and training the next generation of computational astrophysicists.
