In collaboration between the University of Göttingen and the European
Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France, I am working in a PhD
project on numerical methods to optimize Multilayer Mirrors for X-ray
focusing. In order to simulate wave propagation and diffraction (small
wavelengths, but large objects), parallel algorithms and distributed
calculations (MIMD) are necessary. So far, I am using C, Perl and a little
bit IDL together with Shared Memory, Message Passing, and Cuda technologies;
also Monte Carlo methods and LA packages are needed. In my diploma thesis I
studied the effects of real structure effects on X-ray propagation in
waveguides. My favorite editor is Vim.
