Active development

scida

scida is an open-source out-of-the-box python analysis tool for large astrophysical datasets, particularly cosmological and galaxy formation simulations using particles or unstructured meshes. This tool uses dask, allowing analysis to scale up from your personal computer to HPC resources and the cloud.

thor

thor is a next-generation, massively parallel Monte Carlo radiative transfer code for astrophysical applications, running on all major CPU and GPU platforms by utilizing the C++ SYCL standard.

Past development

voroILTIS

MPI+openMP-parallel resonant emission line radiative transfer code used for calculating emission and absorption features in cosmological galaxy formation simulations. The code natively runs on the underlying Voronoi tesselation of the domain, using a custom geometry library. The code was used for Lyman-alpha science from Lyman-alpha haloes to the cosmic web and IGM, but also other lines including X-ray OVII emission.

My research interests include cosmoslogical galaxy formation simulations, Lyman-$\alpha$ radiation to study galaxies and the large-scale structure, supernovae type Ia and high-performance computing.
