Joachim Stadel

Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Zurich, Switzerland (since July 2002)
Ph.D. from the University of Washington: supervised by Thomas Quinn and George Lake (2000)

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
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 info on various HPC resources around UZH.

Teaching

undergraduate course (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
