Hans Fangohr is head of the scientific support unit Computational Science at
the Max Planck Institute for Structure and Dynamics of Matter,
and Professor of Computational Modelling at the University of
Southampton. He received his undergraduate degree
"Diplomphysiker" in physics from the University of
Hamburg (Germany) and completed his PhD studies in the
High Performance Computing Group at the department of
Computer Science in Southampton. He is a full
professor since 2010, and specialised in computational
science, data analysis and software engineering for
science. See About for more details.

| Leadership roles include:
|  |
| His research
interests are at the interface between
computer science and computational science: using and
developing computer science based methodology to support
science and engineering research through high
performance computing and data analysis. He works on
computational modelling methodology, data analysis and
visualisation of scientific data sets, reproducibility,
user interfaces and workflows, and software engineering
for research computing. He also applies computational
science in magnetic materials and other systems to
solve concrete scientific problems. |  |
| Projects
include data analysis for the European X-ray Free
Electron Laser, use and development of the
Jupyter
Notebook for data analysis and computational
science, micromagnetic modelling of a variety of
systems, and development and provision of the
micromagnetic simulation frameworks such as Nmag,
Fidimag
and Ubermag.
A number of other tools and packages
are provided through his group's activities. |

Hans is teaching
the subject of computational science, including
programming, high performance computing and software
engineering to students at graduate and postgraduate
level. He researches learning and teaching methods
appropriate to education in computational science, and
has been awarded Southampton's Vice Chancellor's
Teaching Award (GBP 1000) three times for his
innovative redesign and delivery of the computing
curriculum. He has created and directed doctoral training and
PhD studies in next generation computational
modelling at Southampton. His
Python book
is used widely. |  |
