Dr Florian Schiffmann

Dr Florian Schiffmann has a PhD in physical chemistry awarded in 2010 by the University of Zurich for his research on dye sensitized solar cells and development of the CP2K program package.

In the time from 2010-2012 and 2012-2015 he worked as post-doctoral research associate at UCL London and ETH Zurich respectively. Next to working on a variety of applied research projects he continued as a developer of the CP2K program.

In 2015 he relocated to Australia and joined the Centre of Policy Studies at Victoria University and now works as a developer of the GEMPACK software.

His specialties include Fortran and Python programming, software design, parallel and high performance computing as well as numerical linear algebra.
