Me at Catalina Island!
Hi, my name is James Guillochon, and I'm an astronomy graduate student at UC Santa Cruz. I'm primarily interested in numerical astrophysics simulations, and I am currently working on the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes with Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz.

Before coming to UCSC, I was an undergraduate at UC Irvine, where I worked with James Bullock on an N-body tree-code for galactic dynamics simulations. I then worked at HRL Laboratories, where I developed algorithms for distributed sensor networks.
