Evan Schneider

Evan Schneider is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh, affiliated with the Dietrich School. His research focuses on computational astrophysics, particularly galaxy evolution, numerical methodology, and gas dynamics. He develops the Cholla hydrodynamics code, a GPU-based tool for astrophysical simulations, and specializes in simulating galactic winds driven by supernovae and stellar feedback. His work includes numerical simulations of cloud-wind interactions and galactic outflows, with visualizations available on his website.

He advises graduate students Orlando Warren, Robert Caddy, and Helena Richie. Contact details: eschneider@pitt.edu and http://evaneschneider.org. His full publication list is accessible via this link.

Notable research contributions include advancing parallel GPU computing for hydrodynamics and exploring feedback mechanisms in galaxy formation. His research integrates computational methods with astrophysical phenomena to model large-scale structure evolution.
