About
Dr. Vincent Eke is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics and the Institute for Computational Cosmology, Durham University. His research spans cosmology, galaxy formation, and planetary science, with particular emphasis on self-interacting dark matter, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations, and lunar/planetary impact dynamics.
- Research areas: Galaxy formation in ΛCDM cosmology
- Dark matter halo properties and scattering
- Planetary giant impacts and atmospheric erosion
- Lunar polar hydrogen and neutron flux analysis
His recent publications focus on computational astrophysics, including SPH simulation advancements and impact origin studies for Mars’s moons and Saturn’s rings. He collaborates extensively with planetary scientists and cosmologists, including researchers at NASA and institutions like the University of Washington. Notable co-authors include Dr. Jacob Kegerreis and Dr. Richard Massey.
Dr. Eke supervises PhD student Ella Buxton and maintains email contact at v.r.eke@durham.ac.uk. His work has been published in leading journals such as Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Astrophysical Journal, and Icarus.
