PhD Candidate - -

I worked as a PhD Candidate in the Physics Department at the University of Hamburg in Germany. My main work was in the field of computational fluid dynamics and radiative transfer. During the three years, I developed and implemented new alogrithms for an existing hydrodynamical code package named FLASH.

  • Implementation of radiative transfer algorithms for AMR fluid dynamics.
  • Running high-performance hydrodynamical simulations on star formation.
  • Tutor for undergraduate students.
