In my research, I use supercomputers to model how these compact stars smash together and create gravitational waves. One example is studying neutron star collisions to learn how heavy elements form. I am also excited about new ways to detect these cosmic events through \u201cmulti-messenger\u201d signals, including light and other particles. I enjoy exploring these mysteries and look forward to sharing discoveries with anyone who is curious.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d6b9ab57 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Contact Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Department of Mathematics and Physics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Marshall University <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">1705 3rd Avenue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Science Building Room S257<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Huntington, WV 25755<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Phone: 304-696-2754<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"mailto:babiuc@marshall.edu\">babiuc@marshall.edu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor of Physics Contact Information Department of Mathematics and Physics Marshall University 1705 3rd Avenue Science Building Room S257 Huntington, WV 25755 Phone: 304-696-2754 babiuc@marshall.edu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":270,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mupages.marshall.edu\/mhamilton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mupages.marshall.edu\/mhamilton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mupages.marshall.edu\/mhamilton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mupages.marshall.edu\/mhamilton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/270"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mupages.marshall.edu\/mhamilton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/mupages.marshall.edu\/mhamilton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65,"href":"https:\/\/mupages.marshall.edu\/mhamilton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions\/65"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mupages.marshall.edu\/mhamilton\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
