An animation produced by Swiss scientists about the Reversing Magnetic Field of Planet Earth is one of the 16 selected animations for SC11 Scientific Visualization Showcase. The visualization showcase relies on competitive selection visualizations with a goal to have an event and place at the conference that collects and showcases state-of-the-art scientific visualizations that relate [...]
We continue our series of poster presentations at CSCS User Day 2011 with Dr. Matthias Hempel, post-doc researcher at the University of Basel in the group of Professor Matthias Liebendoerfer presenting his poster on “Stellar explosions, nuclear physics and multiple dimensions”. Dr. Jiri Mareda is leading the group of Computational Chemistry in the Department [...]
We continue the series of videos about the CSCS User Day 2011 with the keynote presentation of Lucio Mayer, professor at the University of Zurich about “A new understanding of galaxy formation from the latest generation of supercomputer simulations“. Lucio Mayer presented his latest research work, in which he and his team succeeded for the [...]
Dr. Daniele Passerone is leading the group of Computational Chemistry in the Nanotech and Surfaces Laboratory at EMPA. At the user day, he presented a poster on “Nanoscience surfaces: from substrate to adsorbate”. Andrey Sheyko, PhD student in the group of Professor Andrew Jackson in the Institute for Geophysics at ETH Zurich presents his poster [...]
An invited guest at CSCS User Day 2011 was the geophysicist Jeroen Tromp of Princeton University who, together with other scientists, uses an ingenious method to create a realistic simulation and image of the Earth’s crust and its mantle under Europe. For this the researchers used the data from 160 earthquakes, which they simulated in [...]
