Background

Research projects

  • Dissertation "Algorithm and Performance Engineering for HPC Particle Simulations" (2015 - today)
  • Co-developer of ls1 mardyn (github), a massively parallel Molecular Dynamics (MD) code for large systems.
  • Co-developer of AutoPas, a node-level auto-tuned particle simulation library developed in the context of the TaLPas project.

Open student projects

I no longer accept any student theses, as I am close to finishing/have finished my PhD.

FMM Short Workshop

These files have been used at the chair retreet 2017. It uses the pyfmm code published on http://pyfmm.googlecode.com/ under the MIT license. It has been modified for the 2-D charge potential. In the workshop the participants were required to add the translation operators.
