Research Description
My research is currently focused on numerical simulations of general
relativity. As surprising as it may seem at first, the two body problem of
general relativity is unsolved. One of the key problems in numerical relativity
is therefore to construct initial data describing two black holes in vacuum,
evolve them, and analyze the result, e.g. compute the emitted gravitational
waves that could be observed on earth.
