Study withZoran Hadzibabic from University of Cambridge
Physics: Simulation of Galaxy Formation
Prof. Dr. Zoran Hadzibabic
Programme Background
The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three astrophysicists who have pushed the boundaries of our understanding of the universe by helping us to better understand the evolution of the universe and explore exoplanets. Cosmology and galaxy formation research are enjoying a golden age in recent years, as a wealth of observational data becomes available and theoretical models are increasingly combined with supercomputer simulations.
Galaxy formation simulation plays an important role in cosmological research. Using computer simulation technology, the evolution of the universe can be simulated on a supercomputer. The Illustris Project, one of the most detailed simulations of galaxy formation in the world today, has successfully modeled more than 40,000 galaxies in the universe. The simulation results are surprisingly consistent with actual cosmic observations. The project is in line with the world's leading galaxy simulation theory and technology.

Published Research Paper Option
Once students have completed the final draft of their papers, they may choose to submit their work to international academic journals indexed by CPCI or EI. We provide guidance and support throughout the submission process for these indexed publications.
The publication fee is £690 per research article, as determined by the journal. Once an article is accepted, it typically becomes searchable on Google and on the journal’s platform approximately seven months after the publication offer is made.
