Research Interests
Software Contributions
AREPO
Moving-mesh magnetohydrodynamics code. Contributions include non-ideal MHD, shearing box approximation, higher-order flux integration, GPU acceleration of the radiation transport module (AREPO-RT), and various optimizations.
GADGET-4
Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics code for cosmological simulations. Contributed the SPH implementation (density- and pressure-based formulations, time-dependent artificial viscosity) and vectorized computational kernels.
