Thesis Supervision

I usually have one or two student project topics available. Generally I supervise theses on auto-tuning in AutoPas, Multi-Site Molecular Dynamics, and algorithms for 3-body force interactions in Molecular Dynamics. Please send me an email if you are interested, and let me know of any relevant experience you have in the fields of Scientific Computing or High Performance Computing.
