Summary
Zachary Silberman is a physicist and educator with eight years of experience teaching and researching relativistic astrophysics, currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics at Providence College. As a PhD candidate and graduate research assistant at RIT, he developed and ran simulations of magnetized astrophysical systems to better align numerical models with the predictions of general relativity, and regularly presents this work at regional and national conferences. He brings hands-on computational expertise to the classroom and research lab, bridging theory, simulation, and pedagogy. Based in Providence, RI, he combines a strong foundation in physics from Allegheny College with advanced astrophysics training from RIT, and is known for making complex relativistic phenomena accessible to students and colleagues.
