Boris Kaus
Professor of Geodynamics and Geophysics at the Johannes-Gutenberg University of Mainz (Germany). Interested in using computational models to understand geoscientific processes such as the formation of fault zones, mountain belts, magmatic processes, volcanic eruptions as well as using computational models to estimate the long-term stability of geological reservoirs.
Session
The rapidly increasing amount of data in the geosciences requires new tools and workflows to processing them, along with software to modelling the physics of the governing processes. Julia offers a great basis for this by combining the benefits of a high-level language, such as ease of use and interactivity, with the features of a low-level language, including speed, efficiency, scalability, and native GPU support.
