====== Prof. Dr. Joachim Stadel ======

Institute for Computational Science, University of Zurich, Switzerland\\

==== Research Interests ====

  * dark matter structure formation in the Universe
  * rocky planet formation via collisional growth and gas accretion
  * hydrodynamical galaxy and planet formation simulations
  * long term stability of planetary systems

==== Simulation Software and Data ====

  * parallel N-body tree-codes **pkdgrav** (with Tom Quinn) and **pkdgrav2** (with Doug Potter)
  * SPH-code **GASOLINE** (built on pkdgrav, with James Wadsley)
  * **TreeSyMBA** (with Ryuji Morishima) and **GENGA** (with Simon Grimm): rocky planet formation
  * analysis tools for N-body simulations

==== High Performance Computing ====

  * new algorithms for load balancing problems on large parallel computing systems
  * **[[zbox:zbox4|zBoxes]]**: our "in-house" parallel computers
  * using GPUs for large and small N-body simulations
  * running simulations on some of the largest computers in the world
  * Some [[howto:howto|howto]] info on various HPC resources around UZH.

==== Teaching ====

  * undergraduate course ([[spin:start|SPIN]]) on using computer simulations in the natural sciences
  * occasional lecturer on mechanics and other astrophysical and computing topics

==== Other ====

  * cardio-sports fan and occasional competitor
