Daniel Wortmann

Daniel Wortmann started his scientific work using the FLEUR code in the last century and is very convinced about the power of the FLAPW method. His current efforts to make the code fit for modern HPC systems aim at ensuring the applicability of the code for future research.

During his PhD work he extended the FLAPW with a Green function based formalism to treat open systems and electron transport. He used this approach to investigate effects relevant for spintronics and nanoferronics, to study localization of electrons at surfaces. Besides metallic systems and multilayer setups his interests also include transition metal oxide materials.

He is a PI in the Institute for Advanced Simulation at the Forschungszentrum Jülich.
