Software


As part of my research I have developed various software for astrophysics applications, which are detailed below. These codes are all publicly available.

CHIMES

The CHIMES non-equilibrium chemistry and cooling module can be used to model the chemical evolution of ions and molecules in interstellar gas. These ion and molecule abundances are then used to calculate the radiative cooling and heating rates of the gas. This module can be incorporated into existing hydrodynamics codes to follow the non-equilibrium chemistry of the gas on-the-fly within cosmological simulations of galaxy formation. It can also be used as a stand-alone module.

The CHIMES home page can be found here.
