Welcome Jakub!

12. February 2018

We welcome Jakub Fišák as a guest student in the PSO group. Jakub is a PhD student at Masaryk  University (Brno, Czech Republic) and works on radiative transfer in stellar winds of hot stars.

Jakub obtained an ERASMUS+ fellowship to spend two months as a guest student at HITS. During his visit, he will collaborate with Markus Kromer to implement Monte Carlo techniques to his radiative transfer code.

About HITS

HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
