Divisions and HPC group lead
NHR@FAU has four divisions: Research, Software & Tools, Training & Support, and Systems & Services. They provide training, application consulting, and expert support to NHR@FAU; at the same time, they continue to engage in research activities within their communities.
The research-oriented structure of NHR@FAU is further supported by Liaison Scientists, who establish a sustainable link between NHR services and ongoing research in relevant fields.
