My name is Shujaut, and currently I am a postdoctoral researcher at Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Goettingen, Germany. I work with Dr. Xiaojue Zhu in Computational Flow Physics and Data Assimilation Group, Solar and Stellar Interiors Department. I use high-fidelity simulation tools to study the physics of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, focusing on convection and dynamos in stellar and planetary environments.
I received my doctoral degree in Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University with minors in
Applied Scientific Computing and Astrophysics.
During my Ph.D., I worked with Prof. Paul Durbin in the area of subgrid
and hybrid RANS/LES modeling of scalar transport and transitional boundary layers respectively.
For more details about my research interests and work, please visit Projects and Publications. I blog about my work in fluid dynamics and numerical methods for computational physics at Flux.
In addition to my research in fluid dynamics and computational physics, I am also interested in the fundamental, philosophical questions about the nature of the universe and our place in it. In my spare time, I love to read heavily on the topics of philosophy of science, together with the academic study of the nature of theism and general religious belief. Contemplating life's big questions is what keeps me awake at night! I post my philosophical musings at backscatter.
