We use high-performance computing on supercomputers and parallel clusters to solve complex problems in physics that would otherwise impossible to solve via analytical methods. Our main research areas are presently to understand the physics of soft matter systems in general, with a particular emphasis on charged systems like polyelectrolytes, charged colloids, ferrofluids and ionic liquids. In addition we are interested in various biophysical problems, flow phenomena, and porous media. Our methods are not only computer simulations, but we also apply statistical physics approaches like density functional methods, fractional calculus, and other approaches. The simulations are performed on parallel computers with help of the simulation package ESPResSo, and we continue to develop algorithms for long range interactions.
Upcoming conferences
We co-organize the following conferences:
- WE-Heraeus Summer School Fast Methods for Long-Range Interactions in Complex Systems, 6 - 10 September 2010, Forschungszentrum Jülich (including an Introduction to ESPResSo)
- CECAM-Tutorial Simulating Soft Matter with ESPResSo, 11-15 October 2010, ICP Stuttgart
- Conference Novel Simulation Approaches to Soft Matter Systems, 20-24 September 2010, Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme, Dresden
