Dr. Mathias Winkel

• Piloted development and implementation efforts on Software as a Service offerings that provide access to electromagnetics simulation tools and technology • Promoted agile projects for the continuous improvement of the local development processes and toolchain

Developing scientific methods and algorithms for simulation of charged particle dynamics in static and dynamic electromagnetic fields with a focus on vacuum electronics devices and plasma applications

- Evaluating the capabilities of the Parallel Full Approximation Scheme in Space and Time (PFASST) with Verlet integration for time- and space-parallel molecular dynamics simulations - Investigating a combination of particle-in-cell methods and a tree code for simulation of laser driven ion acceleration

- Studied dielectric and optical properties of strongly correlated many-particle systems using classical molecular dynamics simulations - Developed a highly scalable hybrid parallelization approach for the Barnes-Hut tree code PEPC - Supervised tutorials on multipole methods for the N-body problem

- Studied the influence of dynamical correlations on optical properties in dense plasmas - Evaluated the dynamical collision frequency in dense plasmas with inclusion of strong collisions and dynamical screening - Re-designed and parallelized existing numerical codes for this application - Created lecture material and supervised tutorials for the Scientific group Quantum Theory & Many-Particle Systems - Supervised students in their lab sessions
