Research: Computational Methods

Within computing in science and engineering, Hans is particularly interested in:

• Particle simulations using Monte-Carlo and Molecular Dynamics methods
• Finite difference, finite element and boundary element methods
• Multi-scale simulations
• Multi-physics simulations
• Computer simulations of nanodevices and physical processes including magnetism, superconductivy, elasticity
• Finite element mesh generation
• Commodity cluster computing:
  • Job distribution and scheduling in multi-CPU systems
  • Algorithm development
• Visualisation
• Education in Computational Science

Hans is a staff member of the National Centre for Advanced Tribology and a member of the European project COST P19 on multi-scale modelling.

Here is an overview of selected past and current projects:
