Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Fridolin Weber is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at San Diego State University and a Research Scientist at the University of California at San Diego. He is interested in nuclear and particle processes that occur in extreme astrophysical systems such as neutron stars and supernovae. Other interests include the application of quantum many-body theory to nuclear matter and dense quark matter, relativistic astrophysics, and Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Dr. Weber has a PhD in theoretical nuclear physics and a PhD in theoretical astrophysics, both from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany. He has published two books, is the author or co-author of almost 200 publications, and has given around 300 talks at conferences and physics schools.

Omair Zubairi received his B.S. and M.S. in Physics from San Diego State University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computational Science from Claremont Graduate University and San Diego State University where he primarily worked on compact star physics. Omair is currently an Assistant Professor of Physics at Wentworth Institute of Technology. His other research interests include general relativity, numerical astrophysics and computational methods and techniques.

Omair is a dedicated educator in physics and computational science. He has taught students from all backgrounds in many areas of physics from the introductory sequence to upper division courses where he incorporates numerical methods and computational techniques into each course. “By allowing students to see and apply numerical simulations to various topics covered in lectures, they are able gain to invaluable insight into the problem at hand.”
