Lukas Spies
Originally from Germany, I am currently a PhD student at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. There I am part of the Scientific Computing Group in the Department of Computer Science. My current research focus lies primarily on Schwarz-type setups for multilevel solvers for the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in the context of wind farm modeling.
