ECRC brings astronomy back home

1 min read ·
Astronomy research excellence is coming back home to the Middle East, where it took its first steps around 1200 BC. Custome new software developed by the KAUST Extreme Computing Research Center (ECRC) was released at the end of 2017. Named MOAO - Multiple Object Adaptive Optics – the software will contribute to the activities of the world's largest future optical telescope to be deployed in Chile in 2024.

Li Luo

Research Interest Li Luo's research interest include Scalable Parallel Algorithms, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Why KAUST? Discuss with the top class faculty, work with the world-class equipment, and enjoy the most diversified culture on the planet. Why did you choose your field of research? Simulation of large flow problems is computationally demanding, such as the two-phase flow and the blood flow in realistic cases. The use of supercomputers and highly scalable parallel algorithms is necessary. Research projects P2Pflow: a Parallel two-Phase flow solver P2Pflow is a parallel finite
