Angela Xue
Angela's PhD research focuses on astrophysics, simulations, cosmology, and turbulence in the ICM.
Physics PhD student
School of Chemical and Physical Sciences
Profile
I completed my BSc (Honours) and Master's degrees at The University of Auckland studying the dynamics of the early universe in the field of cosmology. At Victoria University of Wellington, my PhD research is at the intersection of cosmology and astrophysics, where I investigate the dynamics of the largest objects in the universe, galaxy clusters.
My work involves running simulations of the dynamics and turbulence of gas within galaxy clusters to gauge how such dynamics affect the observations of said clusters. This topic brings together physical topics such as magneto-hydrodynamics, turbulence, simulations, and astrophysical observations.
