Andreas J Reichel

Andreas Josef Reichel was born in 1982 in Munich, Bavaria, to Josef and Ursula. He went to an elementary school from 1989 to 1993 and continued with lower secondary education for 4 years and started with middle school in 1996. In 1999, he finished school as the best graduate of the year. From 2000 to 2001, he went to Fachoberschule and got his subject-linked university entrance qualification, with which he began to study Physical Technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich. After two semesters, he got his preliminary diploma and began with general studies of Physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2003. In 2011, he completed Dipl.-Phys. (Univ.) in experimental physics with the THz characterization of thin semiconductor films in photonics and optoelectronics. Now, he is working on his dissertation to Dr. rer. nat. on plasma etching processes for semiconductors at the Walter Schottky Institute of the Technische Universität München in Garching. In his spare time, he has been learning programming languages such as BASIC, Pascal, C/C++, x86 and x64 Assembler, as well as HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and the database system MySQL and has been programming since he was 13 years old. Since 1995, he has been an active hobby musician in different accordion ensembles and orchestras. He also loves to learn about languages and drawing, and he began practicing Chinese martial arts in 2012. He invests most of his free time in hobby electronic projects and family genealogical research. He was the co-author of Charge carrier relaxation and effective masses in silicon probed by terahertz spectroscopy, S. G. Engelbrecht, A. J. Reichel, and R. Kersting, Journal of Applied Physics.

deal.II – a powerful Physics calculation library


deal.II is a highly sophisticated simulation library based on the method of finite elements. It is developed by professional mathematicians and programmers, and it is open source software. The first question that might arise is why should you use the deal.II library at all. This can be answered with the same argument as the one used for the other software library we have already used. You can, of course, write everything yourself from scratch. However, you only have limited time each day to write your code, and also, you do not want to have just a simple algorithm for a specific problem. You probably want code that is state of the art and very efficient in problem solving. However, not many people would have the knowledge to write highly optimized code and this also takes a very long time. Again, it becomes very clear why deal.II is helpful. It is a complete library already optimized to run on cluster systems and solve different kinds of engineering...
