My present PhD work is in
the field of (Quantum) Monte Carlo simulations of topological defects in 3D
scalar quantum-electrodynamics on a lattice. I investigate monopole and
vortex-loop percolation in dependence on the external coupling constants in
the theory. My second interest is in low-dimensional quantum magnets which I
study with recently introduced Quantum Monte Carlo schemes like the
Stochastic Series Expansion. There, I am especially interested in Quantum
Phase Transitions. This work relies heavily on fast (MPI) parallel C and C++
code for simulation and a combination of Perl and Python scripting for post
data manipulations. For data management purposes I use relational databases
(MySQL) and SQL. Recently, I have implemented a 3-tier database frontend
using Java (JDBC) and XML for accessing the database over the web. On
a separate university project, I have developed a Java-plugin for the
Protege Ontologie project. Lastly, I have some familiarity in Hardware
design using VHDL. Platforms used: Linux, Unixes.
