Miscellanious
Software Engineering:
1993-1996: Development of the initial 3D-version of the software toolbox UG. It allows for the solution of (systems of) partial differential equations
arising from complex real-world problems using highly efficient algorithms like multigrid methods, unstructured grids and local grid refinement.
1997-1999: Development and implementation of parallel, object-oriented solution strategies for large, sparse discrete equations arising from systems of nonlinear partial
differential equations and of parallel, object-oriented graphics facilities in the framework of UG.
since 2000: Development and implementation of methods for numerical bifurcation analysis of (systems of) partial differential equations.
Design of application-specific tools for geometry and grid generation and realization of a high-level, abstract user interface (Perl)
for applications arising from environmental science.
The toolbox UG has been licensed more than 300 times, worldwide.
Project Management:
1995-1998: Management and control of the software development in the project
''Schnelles Grundwasserprogramm'' (Fast Groundwater Program),
financed by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with approximately 2.5~Mio.~Euro.
The project has been executed in cooperation with the universities of Bonn, Erlangen, Freiburg, Hannover, Stuttgart, Z"urich
and employed 12 researchers and technical assistents.
1995-1998: Scientific head of the group responsible for the development of solution strategies in the project
``Schnelles Grundwasserprogramm'', Stuttgart University. Main emphasis was on the development of efficient, scalable,
parallel solving algorithms.
Further Activities:
Various lectures and talks on international conferences, workshops, summer schools on numerical mathematics, scientific computing
and environmental sciences.
Reviewing activities for international journals on numerical mathematics, scientific computing, computational physics and environmental sciences.
