Portrait of Max Lindqvist

Max Lindqvist

I model the physics of plasmas.

Hi, I’m Max. I work in the Advanced Computing Hub at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, where I help researchers and engineers get the most out of large-scale computing systems for fusion and plasma physics. My academic background is in plasma physics, and I completed my PhD through a joint program between Augsburg University and Paris-Saclay, focusing on negative ion beam formation using a 3D Particle-in-cell model.

This website is a place where I collect the things I work on and the things I enjoy: a selection of my academic articles and ongoing and past open-source projects.

My research interests include:

  • High-performance computing for plasma and fusion simulations
  • Nonlinear plasma dynamics in low-temperature and fusion plasmas
  • Scientific visualization and reproducible workflows for large-scale plasma simulations
  • Development and maintenance of open-source tools
