Academic Achievements
- Submitted responses to the NSF Dear Colleague Letter regarding future needs for advanced cyberinfrastructure; collaborated with the gravitational physics group at Parma University, which was awarded a 30 million core hours PRACE grant; published papers on topics such as spectral analysis of gravitational waves from binary neutron star merger remnants.
Research Experience
- Led research projects in numerical relativity, relativistic astrophysics, and community software engineering. Consulted LSU faculty and staff on technology and software development, including efficient use of IT infrastructure and strategic planning. Also gave lectures at elementary schools, trained and mentored robotics teams at local schools, and taught regular college courses.
Background
- Strong background in software design and development, particularly from years of experience in cutting-edge, international scientific software development teams. Focuses on highlighting the role of software development in science and is a main founder of the German chapter of the RSE community: de-RSE. Current scientific interests include the behavior of matter in strongly curved environments, focusing on neutron star dynamics.
Miscellany
- Understands the increasing influence of digital technologies on society, future job markets, and teaching methods, and is motivated to communicate this knowledge to the next generation through various educational activities.
