I am an assistant professor of Astronomy at the University of Illinois and a research scientist at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). My research discipline is computational astrophysics and cosmology. My research interests include the evolution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, globular clusters, the interstellar medium, and supernova explosions. I am also interested in computer science topics bearing on scientific computing, particularly architectures for parallel hydrodynamic codes used in astrophysical simulation. My curriculum vitae and publication list are available. Office 201 Astronomy Phone (217) 244-1187 Email pmricker AT illinois.edu Mail University of Illinois Dept. of Astronomy 1002 W.
