As a Graduate Research Assistant at the Institute of Space Technology, I worked on computational astrophysics projects focused on the evolution of the Milky Way’s nuclear region and binary black hole dynamics. My research involved running high-resolution N-body simulations using tools such as NBODY6++GPU and Phi-GPU to study stellar systems and black hole interactions. I was responsible for setting up simulations, analyzing large datasets, and interpreting the physical implications of the results. This role strengthened my skills in numerical modeling, astrophysical data analysis, and scientific programming in Python and C++.
