معرفی
Carl Fields is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Astronomy, University of Arizona, and an Assistant Astronomer at Steward Observatory. His research focuses on computational and nuclear astrophysics, particularly the evolution and explosions of massive stars, their gravitational wave signatures, and multi-messenger signals.
He previously held a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the Computational Physics and Methods (CCS-2) and Eulerian Codes (XCP-2) Divisions. He is actively involved in developing MESA-Web, a widely used educational tool for stellar evolution modeling.
