Hi there!

My name is Andreas Klöckner. I am a graduate student at the Divison of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. I am working on the simulation of certain phenomena in plasma physics by means of Particle-in-Cell methods with my advisor, Jan Hesthaven.

I am interested in high-order numerical methods for Partial Differential Equations, in particular for hyperbolic problems. I also care about Distributed-memory parallel computing and the software engineering needed to build useful, robust simulation codes.

I am originally from Germany, where I obtained my Diplom degree from the University of Karlsruhe.

Need to contact me? Email me at kloeckner@dam.brown.edu.

I also maintain the Electronic Prelim Book for my fellow grad students at the Division.

About the pictures on this page: The pseudocolor image in the page header is a snapshot from a solution of the second order wave equation with Dirichlet BCs created using hedge. The page background includes snippets from James Clerk Maxwell’s A treatise on electricity and magnetism, nicked from Google books. (the work itself is well outside of copyright)
