Master Thesis – Numerical Methods in High Performance Computing

Your Job:

The topic of the Master`s thesis is “Using (non-)linear multigrid and domain decomposition method in discontinuous Galerkin method”. Your tasks will include:

• Implementation of domain decomposition method to solve a PDE discretized by discontinuous Galerkin finite element method
• Implementation of multigrid and modify domain decomposition method so that it can be used as a smoother for the multigrid
• Study the convergence of the solvers for a specific PDE

Your Profile:

• You are studying mathematics, computer science, engineering or a related discipline and you are looking for a Master`s thesis topic, ideally already discussing with one of your professors
• You are well versed in Python for implementing numerical methods
• Being familiar with the finite element method is advantageous
• Your are familiar with the numerical solution of partial differential equations
• Social and communication skills for cooperative collaboration in interdisciplinary teams are among your strength
• You have a very good command of written and spoken English
