Research Interests

• General-Purpose Computations on Graphics Hardware

  Throughout the last years, graphics cards have been introduced to the research community as new platform for highly parallel high performance computations. There is strong evidence, that the combined usage of graphic processors (GPUs) and standard computing hardware can improve the performance of current numerical methods at least by an order of magnitude. To gain such speedups, our current numerical codes have to be parallelized massively. I'm currently focused on the parallelization of numerical methods used in computational fluid dynamics.

• Fluid Animation

  Fluid animation is a major topic in the domain of computer graphics. One is interested in the visually realistic animation of fluids like air and water. By coupling our fluid solver NaSt3DGPF and Autodesk Maya, we were able to introduce the physically correct solver into the domain of fluid animation. The following animations are first results of this coupling:
