Elias Roland Udnæs is one of the students at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics who just graduated in Astronomy, a two years master programme at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UiO.
– My thesis calculates transport of radiation in the outer parts of the sun (the atmosphere). The unique part of my thesis is calculating this radiation on three-dimensional unstructured grids. I hope to find grids that are better suited for calculating radiation, Elias explains.
