Biography
Lars main interest lie at the intersection of machine learning and simulating atomic systems. Originally, Lars studied theoretical physics at the University of Birmingham, with a focus on Astrophysics. During his internship at the Max Plank Institute for Nuclear Physics, Lars made his first contact with scientific computing while working on a high energy camera that is set to observe x-rays emitted by cosmic particle accelerators. Changing to the University of Cambridge for his masters, Lars started focusing on condensed matter physics with his thesis on quantum information. Here he discovered his passion for computational modelling at the atomic scale.
