Abstract My area of expertise is the modelling and numerical simulation of particulate processes encountered in industrial applications – although similar techniques could be used to describe the complex mechanisms observed in atmospheric systems (as we have shown in a recent publication).
At the moment, I’m finishing my PhD thesis (in chemical engineering) and am employed at the University of Duisburg-Essen in the group of Prof. Einar Kruis (the successor of Prof. Heinz Fissan). During my PhD thesis I focused primarily on the GPU- based Monte Carlo simulations for the solution of population balances within compartmental models. However, different other simulation techniques as the sectional methods, as well as the fixed- pivot simulation techniques have been at the focus of my interest as well.
Prior studies in physics (I have obtained a diploma in physics in the year 2013 at the Humboldt University of Berlin), have given me the opportunity to gather a deep knowledge on stability analysis of dynamical systems and stochastic processes. This skill set has helped me to design new Monte Carlo methods and GPU-algorithms for the simulation of particulate processes.
I would like to extend my areas of expertise by learning novel simulation techniques (such as CFD, DEM, etc. ), I would also be interested on the tuning of the underlying simulation algorithms of these techniques at the most basic level – as well as on the combination of those with a compartmental population balance model.
I am also interested in programming larger computational architectures as well as high performance computing in combination with novel computational languages such as Julia.
