Research interests

My research focuses on the development of mathematical software to help in the understanding of ecosystem models.

Profile

I am an geophysicist with experience in all aspects of numerical simulation and automated algebraic manipulations of ODEs and PDEs, including:

  • theoretical numerics,
  • code implementation,
  • parallelisation,
  • machine learning
  • visualisation,
  • creation of unit-testing frameworks, and
  • site administration.

Education

Friedrich Schiller University Jena

  • Ph.D. in geophysics, February 2009 …Dissertation: ”Towards a robust TERRA, Numerical improvements of the TERRA Code” …Advisor: Prof. Dr. Uwe Walzer
  • state exam in mathematics and physics, September 2001 …Thesis:”Quantum statistics of the radiation field at beam splitters” …The state exam is technically comparable to a diploma or M.Sc. and obligatory for teaching at German secondaray schools qualifying for university
