Computing

Computational Scientific Modeling

Computational Scientific Modeling is the modern manifestation of the basic principle of science: Abstraction and Evaluation. Today, the evaluation of realistic models is computer based. Different members of the group have a solid basis in modern programming languages, high performance computing, statistics, discrete mathematics, bioinformatics, differential equations and numerical analysis. The group works on interdisciplinary projects within the faculty of natural sciences and in collaboration with renowned international research centers and universities. Members of the group established a portfolio of solutions for industrial applications.
