CHRIS RIMES

I'm a postdoc at the Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon in Lyon, France. My work involves using state-of-the-art numerical simulations to study the formation of galaxies and large-scale structure in the Universe. Right now, I'm working with Projet Horizon to analyse what will be the most advanced cosmological simulation ever performed. You can read more about this work on my research pages and on the Horizon website.

Until September 2006, I was a research associate in JILA at the University of Colorado at Boulder, working with Andrew Hamilton. We used N-body simulations to study the growth of structure in the Universe. I received my PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2003. My thesis research - which was undertaken in the Institute for Astronomy - involved the development of semi-analytic techniques for studying galaxy formation. My supervisors were Eelco van Kampen and John Peacock. If you're interested, you can download a copy of my thesis in postscript format (gzipped, 6.7M).
