Learning from Computational Astrophysicist Dr. Chris Fragile: A Discussion on Black Holes

In this episode, we are joined by computational astrophysicist Dr. Chris Fragile to talk about his work, the astronomy world, and current advancements/problems in astrophysics. Dr. Fragile is a computational astrophysicist studying numerical simulations of hydrodynamic, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), and radiation MHD effects. He develops and utilizes codes to study black hole accretion and the feedback of black holes on their environments through jets (radiation). Dr. Fragile teaches and researches at the College of Charleston in Charleston SC.
