Final Year Computer Science Project

[jermaindefoe]

Hi, I am a mature student coming back to uni in my late twenties. I currently study computer science and am about to go into my final year.

I really know very little physics other than reading why does e= mc2 by Brian cox

I was hoping someone here could possibly suggest to me a Physics project i could use as an extension of computer science. There are many projects on the list but they don't have any interesting applications.

I was hoping there might be something i could do around astrophysics, that would be challenging enough from a software development point of view that wouldn't need me to have a physics degree either. Possibly a topic area i could read up on and apply my computer science knowledge?

Thanks for your time.

What language are you writing in?

What language are you writing in?

C# or Java. Though it can be anything really.

analysis of nonlinear systems, (i.e. ones that cannot be solved analytically) seems like a good candidate for a computer science project.
for example, using discrete difference equations to try to categorise the behaviour of physical systems. (i.e. using 'dt = small number' and iterating the equation).
For astrophysics, I don't know much in that area, but maybe it could be something like event recognition (i.e. when a new supernovae explodes) or maybe analysing the intensity or spectrum of stars?
