stellar disc

Hi there, I’m Elvis Mello-Terencio 👋

I'm an astrophysics MSc graduate currently applying for PhD positions. My work has focused on galaxy evolution, exploring how jellyfish galaxies are influenced by their environments. I have a profound interest in data analysis and numerical simulations.

I maintain a few repositories related to astrophysics research in $N$-body simulations:

  • galstep: Generates initial conditions for simulating disc galaxies. It can output in HDF5 and Gadget2 binary format, being able to run in any Gadget version, RAMSES and Arepo.
  • clustep: Generates initial conditions for galaxy clusters, working similarly to galstep.
  • snapshotJoiner: Merges initial conditions either in Gadget2 or HDF5 formats.
  • snapshotJoinerMk2: An upgraded version of snapshotJoiner that works exclusively with HDF5. This version provides improved merging logic.

gpu simulation

Outside of these scripts, I also enjoy developing side projects that I find interesting, such as:

  • visualizations_cpp: (In progress) framework for quickly prototyping GPU kernels. Includes an out-of-the-box direct-sum gravity simulation of $\sim 10^{4.5}$ particles that runs in real time.
  • BurguersSolution: Translation to C++ from Fortran of a differential equation solver from Eleuterio F. Toro's book for Numerical Methods.
  • simpleBilliards: A simple 2d simulation of colliding circles.

  1. galstep galstep Public

    Forked from ruggiero/galstep

    Generates initial conditions for a spiral galaxy simulation in a format that can be read in GADGET2, RAMSES or GADGET4.

    Python 2 1

  2. clustep clustep Public

    Forked from ruggiero/clustep

    Generates initial conditions for a galaxy cluster simulation in a format that can be read in GADGET (2, 3 or 4), RAMSES and AREPO (after adding background grid).

    Python 1

  3. BurgersSolution BurgersSolution Public

    C++ program based on the Fortran version in Eleuterio F. Toro's book for Numerical Methods that computes the solution for the Burgers equation considering periodic boundaries.

    C++

  4. snapshotJoinerMk2 snapshotJoinerMk2 Public

    Self contained script that joins simulation snapshots in hdf5. Tested on Gadget3, Gadget4 and Arepo.
