Christian Hundt has received his diploma degree in theoretical physics for the analysis of quantization maps and the associated structure of Lie groups on curved manifolds at the University of Mainz, Germany. In his current position, as a research associate at the Parallel and Distributed Architectures group, he investigates the design and parallelization of elastic subsequence alignment algorithms using CUDA-enabled accelerators. Further topics of interest involve the robust and Galilean-invariant vortex detection in wind fields (Lagrangian Coherent Structures) and the efficient analysis of spatio-temporal data.
