Scientific Computing

Scientific Computing was installed as part of the Department of Computer Science when Professor Dr. Bischof was called to the Technical University of Darmstadt. As part of this chair we offer teaching activities on parallel computers, parallel programming, and computer science foundations of simulation technology.

An overview of our research activities is available here. Furthermore, we are always interested in students looking for thesis topics and research assistants.

You find us in the Karl Plagge-Haus at campus Stadtmitte, building S1I22, Alexanderstraße 2, 64283 Darmstadt.
