Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Green is a PhD researcher at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies with eight years' experience building C++ hydrodynamic simulations and Python tooling to model and post-process large (GB–TB) astrophysical datasets. His work focuses on nebulae, bow shocks and circumstellar structures around massive stars, linking simulations to observations to constrain stellar evolution and supernova progenitors. He developed a Python library for producing publishable figures and analysis workflows, and applies HPC experience from PRACE/EPCC to run and visualise large-scale simulations. An active outreach organiser at Dunsink Observatory, he combines public engagement and classroom teaching with citizen-science coordination for meteor observation across Ireland. Outside research he tinkers with Raspberry Pi and microcontrollers, a hobby that drove his self-taught C++ and Python skills and informs practical, reproducible tooling.
