Biography

Thomas Ludwig received his doctoral degree and the German habilitation degree at the Technische Universität München, where he conducted research on HPC from 1988 to 2001. From 2001 to 2009 he had a chair for parallel computing at the Universität Heidelberg. 2009 he moved to Hamburg. He is now director of the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ) and professor at the Universität Hamburg. His research activity is in the fields of high volume data storage, energy efficiency, and performance analysis concepts and tools for parallel systems. At DKRZ Prof. Ludwig takes the responsibility for accomplishing its mission: to provide high performance computing platforms, sophisticated and high capacity data management, and superior service for premium climate science.
