Mark Vogelsberger (2017)

Mark Vogelsberger (born December 10, 1978 in Bad Kreuznach ) is a German physicist , astrophysicist and cosmologist . He is a tenured associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. He also works as an IT security author in Germany and a machine learning / data science coach in Asia.

Life

Vogelsberger graduated from high school in 1998 at the high school on the city wall in Bad Kreuznach. From 2000 he studied computer science , mathematics and physics at the University of Mainz and the University of Karlsruhe . He wrote his diploma thesis in the group of Kurt Binder and Rolf Schilling in the field of theoretical solid-state physics on applications of the Landau-Zener effect on spin quantum systems. He then moved to the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, where he worked with Simon White until 2010 on his doctoral thesis on the internal structure of halos of dark matter . As a post-doctoral student , he was at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University to work with Lars Hernquist and Avi Loeb in the field of galaxy formation with a novel simulation process. He was then a Hubble Fellow of the Space Telescope Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University and NASA .

In 2013 he became an Assistant Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he works in the field of computational astrophysics. There he is also a member of the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. In 2018 he was promoted to associate professor at MIT, and in 2020 he received tenure at MIT.

Vogelsberger's work is mainly concerned with the simulation of structure formation and formation of galaxies in the universe. Together with Volker Springel and other scientists, he created a galaxy simulation of our universe in the Illustris project in 2014 . The follow-up project IllustrisTNG was based on the success of the original Illustris simulation.

Vogelsberger developed methods to numerically examine the fine-scale structure of dark matter. Another focus of his work is the investigation of new types of dark matter, mainly so-called strongly interacting dark matter.

Most of Vogelsberger's work makes use of international supercomputers , which are among the most powerful computers in the world. The underlying simulation programs are distributed over up to 100,000 processors. The Illustris project , for example, was partially calculated on the German SuperMUC . The IllustrisTNG simulations were calculated at the high-performance computing center in Stuttgart on the Hazel Hen supercomputer.

In addition to his work as a physicist, Vogelsberger is also active in the field of IT security and machine learning. Among other things, he has been writing the InSecurity column for the German Linux magazine for more than 20 years and is the author of Secumod , one of the first security kernel modules from SuSE Linux. He has also been holding seminars on artificial intelligence and machine learning in the field of business and research in Asia for several years.
