From Sven Kreiss
Welcome,
This is my personal website. I recently moved from Edinburgh to Manhattan to become a graduate student in Physics at New York University. Of course, I took some pictures.
I used to spend a lot of time building electronic things like an oscilloscope (OpenOsci), a walking robot (Nummer4) and the commercial VideoSchalter at http://www.videoschalter.com. Also, I used to program a lot of non-sciency things like http://www.kappr.com or http://hashthumbsup.com.
Over time, I accumulated some notes on how to configure various tools I used in Physics. Almost all notes are related to getting these tools running under Ubuntu or to cope with the transition from g77 to gfortran in the latest releases of Ubuntu. Most of the notes were written up when I was working on my Masters thesis about "New Physics at the LHC: Distinguishability of Supersymmetry and Little Higgs models" where I compared two specific decay chains. I started this project with Tilman Plehn who left Edinburgh to become a Professor in Heidelberg, but I could continue the project with Thomas Gregoire. I also have my own little Physics side project called SLHAio.
Due to my work on SLHAio, there are two papers with me on the author list:
- SUSY Les Houches Accord 2 -- CPC 180 (2009) 8, http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.0045
- Physics Beyond the Standard Model: Supersymmetry -- http://arxiv.org/abs/0802.3672

[edit] Eye catching
The following simulation was a homework problem for my electromagnetism course. The simulation was run with matrices up to 10,000x10,000 entries. The full story is explained at Galerkin.
