Research
Before working for COMSOL AB in Sweden for almost ten years, Jan-Philipp was appointed junior professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). He was heading a joint research group with the company Hewlett-Packard conducting research on numerical methods on emerging multicore and coprocessor technologies. At COMSOL he was part of the numerical analysis and high performance computing team and worked as a global support lead for solver technologies and HPC.
Numerical Simulation and COMSOL Multiphysics
As a developer at COMSOL AB, Jan-Philipp has for example been involved in the development of the domain decomposition solver and the fast Fourier transform solver. As a global support lead he was working on a wide range of multiphysics simulation problems in the academic and engineering context.
