4 Summer of HPC

During July and August 2013, I participated in the “Summer of HPC” programme and spent two months at the National Supercomputing Centre of Turkey located at the Technical University of Istanbul. I worked on simulation and visualisation of blood flow in coronary arteries. Some links:

Furthermore, I wrote a blog for the newspaper of the university of Vienna. You can read it here (in German):
