College of Staten Island graduate Eric Ludwig is making waves in the world of astrophysics with a newly published paper in the Astrophysical Journal, one of the field’s most respected publications. Ludwig, who earned his degree at CSI before pursuing advanced research, is the lead author of a study exploring how galaxies evolve after explosive bursts of star formation.
While the details of the research are highly technical, the significance is clear: the work helps scientists better understand how galaxies like our own Milky Way grow, change, and ultimately stop forming stars. By comparing observations of real galaxies with cutting-edge computer simulations, Ludwig and his team shed new light on the processes that shape the universe. Read more...
