Eric Ludwig

Eric is a Predoctoral Fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) for the Fall 2025 semester. He studies ultralight dark matter using computational simulations and machine learning, with the goal of understanding soliton dynamics and their astrophysical signatures. He is currently a Ph.D. student in physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he began in 2024 and expects to graduate in 2029. In 2025, he was awarded a NASA New York Space Grant Fellowship to support his research. He earned his B.S. in physics from the College of Staten Island, City University of New York, in 2022.
