The group has been newly established at the HITS in the spring of 2010 and is led by Prof. Dr. Volker Springel of the University of Heidelberg. A major goal of the group's research is to unlock the power of modern high performance supercomputers for basic research in theoretical astrophysics. To this end, both the state-of-the art computational facilities at HITS and supercomputers in Germany and across Europe are employed.
