Francois Foucart

Dr. Francois Foucart is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of New Hampshire's College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. His research focuses on computational astrophysics, general relativity, neutron star mergers, and gravitational wave phenomena. He teaches courses spanning computational physics, general relativity, cosmology, and electromagnetic theory.

His primary research investigates compact object mergers through advanced computational simulations, examining neutrino physics, magnetohydrodynamics, and nucleosynthesis processes in collapsars and neutron star collisions. Recent work emphasizes multidimensional modeling of merger dynamics, neutrino transport mechanisms, and electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave events.

Publications demonstrate cutting-edge work in merger simulations, neutrino physics, and gravitational wave astronomy. Research consistently advances numerical methods for relativistic hydrodynamics and contributes to multimessenger astrophysics understanding.
