Areas of Interest
Dr. Blondin has been computing the cosmos for over 20 years, using everything from a laptop to supercomputers. He began
his experience in high-performance computing with the opening of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, and continues to take
advantage of the largest machines currently available, including Ranger
at the Texas Advanced Computing Center with 63,000 processor cores and Jaguar
at the National Center for Computational Sciences with 224,000 processor cores.
His research includes interacting binary stars, accretion disks around black holes, supernova remnants, and the origin of supernova explosions.
He co-authored the hydrodynamics code VH-1, which is widely
used in the astrophysics community. At NC State he has introduced students to the world of computational physics research,
mentoring over 75 undergraduate research projects.
