Short CV
Stephan Grein has been working as a postdoctoral researcher at the LIMES institute since June 2021 focusing on metaflammation. Previous studies include Bioinformatics and obtaining a master's and bachelor's degree by Goethe-University in Frankfurt/Main. Lately he was awarded a Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics by Temple University, Philadelphia, PA in December 2020 working on the detailed modelling and simulation of intracellular ion-dynamics in neurons linked to synaptic plasticity and learning processes by developing novel hybrid-dimensional and multi-scale models as well as novel hierarchical mesh generation techniques for neurons applicable to multigrid methods for the efficient numerical simulation of the developed models on high-performance computing infrastructure.
Research interests
numerical modeling and simulation, high performance computing, parallel programming, inflammation and cancer biology, synaptic plasticity and intracellular ion-dynamics, computational neuroscience, ODEs, PDEs, mixed-compute infrastructure (CPU/GPU)
