The progress of the JETSET project is deeply connected to the people who shape it with their ideas and dedication. We are proud to celebrate that Harry Ho-Yin Ng has completed his PhD as part of the ERC JETSET project!
Congratulations to Harry on this remarkable accomplishment. His work and engagement have been an important part of the group’s scientific and collaborative environment.
Harry expanded neutrino-radiation transport beyond the standard framework by including muonic degrees of freedom in relativistic merger simulations. His results showed that muonic weak interactions produce cooler remnants, more neutron-rich ejecta, and noticeable changes in r-process nucleosynthesis yields. This highlighted how previously neglected microphysics can strongly influence post-merger evolution and heavy-element production. In addition, he demonstrated that magnetic buoyancy (Parker instability) can power episodic flares and sustained jet-like outflows, linking magnetic evolution in merger remnants to observable high-energy signals.
We thank Harry for his contributions and wish him curiosity and success in his future research.
