I am a theoretical/computational astrophysicist and cosmologist. Using the world’s most powerful supercomputers, I generate cosmological simulations to model the formation of cosmic structures, including galaxies and their stars.
Reconciling dwarf galaxies with ΛCDM cosmology: simulating a realistic population of satellites around a Milky Way–mass galaxy. AR Wetzel, PF Hopkins, J Kim, CA Faucher-Giguère, D Kereš, E...
Research Interests: • Theoretical astrophysics and cosmology. • Cosmological simulations and computational methods. • Cosmological structure formation: halos, galaxies, and stars. • Near-field cosmology: dark matter and its distribution in the local Universe. • Galactic archeology: the formation histories of the ...

Wetzel designs supercomputer simulations that model how galaxies like the Milky Way form. The models recreate processes important in galaxy simulation, and also produce synthetic observations for comparison with real-world data.

New computational advances have led to our ability to simulate large regions of the universe and the galaxies within them. Lecture: 02:38; Lecture Q&A: 32:11...
Attack Attack! formed in 2005 when Johnny Franck, Andrew Whiting, Nick White and Andrew Wetzel met Austin Carlile while playing in local high school bands. Caleb Shomo joined the band as the keyboardist, and they changed the name to Attack Attack! [2]
