Computational astrophysics refers to the methods and computing tools developed and used in astrophysics research. Like computational chemistry or computational physics , it is both a specific branch of theoretical astrophysics and an interdisciplinary field relying on computer science , mathematics , and wider physics .
Joel R. Primack, distinguished Professor of Physics at UCSC, has directed the UC-HiPACC consortium since its inception. [2] Peter Nugent from the Lawrence Berkley National Labarotory serves as the coordinator from northern California and Michael Norman from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) serves as the coordinator from southern California.

Computational solid state physics is a very important division of computational physics dealing directly with material science. Computational statistical mechanics is a field related to computational condensed matter which deals with the simulation of models and theories (such as percolation and spin models ) that are difficult to solve otherwise.
Moscardini taught a course on Astrophysics at the University of Pavia. In November 2002 Moscardini was appointed associate professor and Full Professor September 2016 at the Astronomy Department at the University of Bologna. [ 1 ]
Computational astrophysics – The study of astrophysics using computational methods and tools to develop computational models. Plasma astrophysics – studies properties of plasma in outer space. Space physics – study of plasmas as they occur naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere (aeronomy) and within the Solar System. Solar physics ...
