Christian Schmitt

Christian Schmitt is a researcher affiliated with the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the same institution (2019). His work focuses on high-performance computing, multigrid methods, domain-specific languages, and parallel algorithms. Schmitt has contributed to the development of ExaSlang and ExaStencils frameworks for scalable solver generation and stencil-code engineering. His research emphasizes automating solver development and optimizing performance on multi-core and FPGA platforms.

Key research interests include parallel computing paradigms, reconfigurable hardware design, and domain-specific language technologies for scientific computing. His publications span journals like Proc. IEEE and conferences such as ASAP and FCCM. Collaborators include Frank Hannig, Jürgen Teich, and Harald Köstler.

Recent work explores SYCL-based code generation for multigrid methods and OpenCL acceleration of discontinuous Galerkin methods. He has also investigated Scala prototypes for multi-platform solver implementations and stencil-code optimization using SPL Conqueror.
