Helge Mohn
Helge Mohn is a PhD student at the Alfred Wegener Institute Potsdam and in cooperation with the Center for Industrial Mathematics (ZeTeM) at the University of Bremen. He researches machine learning methods and applies them in the field of atmospheric physics.

Daniel Kreyling
Daniel Kreyling is a PostDoc in the field of atmospheric-chemistry modelling at the Alfred Wegener Institute Potsdam. He is developing numerically efficient chemistry schemes for application in climate modeling.

Astrid Kerkweg
Astrid Kerkweg is one of the core developers of the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy). In PL-ExaESM WP1 she is developing the Atmospheric Chemistry DWARF as integral part of MESSy.

Domenico Taraborrelli
Understanding atmospheric oxidation of trace gases and its interaction with weather and climate by means of multiphase chemical kinetic modelling at global scale.

Kerstin Hartung
My name is Kerstin Hartung and by training I am a meteorologist and climate scientist. I have been employed with the DLR (in the group on Earth-System modelling) since May 1st and am mainly working for the ExaESM Pilot Lab. As part of Topic 1 I am working on porting the photolysis code of the MESSy model to GPUs. In Topic 2 we want to implement parallel and asynchronous writing of data in MESSy to speed up the simulation in another way.

Jonas Thies
Dr. Jonas Thies is a group leader in parallel numerics at DLR’s institute of software technology (https://www.DLR.de/sc/). He contributes knowledge in designing exa-scale capable libraries for sparse linear algebra and mesh management to the Pilot-Lab and has previously contributed numerical and HPC expertise to the fields ocean- and ice-modelling.

Thomas Fischer
Dr. Thomas Fischer has been working as a scientific software developer at the Department of Environmental Informatics at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research since 2010. As one of the core developers of OpenGeoSys his research interest are related to robust and efficient numerical software and high performance computing.

Tobias Meisel
Tobias Meisel is a software developer at the Department of Environmental Informatics at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research. As part of the OpenGeoSys core development team his research contributes to efficient parallel algorithms for file I/O.
