Mitchell Hooymans

Aspiring Astrophysicst and STEM Communicator

About

I am astrophysicist currently completing a PhD at The University of Queensland in the field of Astrophysics, where I am researching the formation and dynamics of black holes in dense stellar systems.

My journey into astrophysics has been filled with desire to understand the fundamental principles that govern the cosmos. I'm constantly seeking opportunities to learn and grow, applying my skills to unravel the complexities of celestial phenomena. With a keen interest in science communication and a background in computer science, I'm developing expertise in analyzing astronomical data, building models, and visualizing complex datasets that can be communicated to the general public.

I'm passionate about education and outreach, and I'm dedicated to inspiring the next generation of scientists and science communicators. I have a strong foundation in physics and computer science, and I'm committed to sharing my knowledge and experience with others.
