James Bullock in NC

I hear a professor of ours, Dr. James Bullock, was touring around the Tar Heel State. (Poor guy, he has to go from worrying about having beach sand on his heels to tar. yuck!)

Anyways, I thought I would upload some videos his graduate students have made public on this website to display some things he does.

Basically he studies galaxies and other large structures to better understand a variety of things. One thing his work sheds light on is the nature of dark matter. His work has been very important into helping scientists understand how warm/cold dark matter must be to have proper large scale structure formation.

This is what I was interested in, however, I am more interested in what things like supersymmetry tells us about dark matter so the theorists won me over. However, our theorists are working with him on viable dark matter candidates so I am still very interested in his research.

Here is a numerical simulation of galaxy mergers:



Here is a numerical simulation of how galaxies form:
