Hello, I am

Marco Hufnagel

Research Scientist, PhD

Overview

I am a trained theoretical physicist (PhD), who works at the interface of particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics. During my work, I have developed excellent Python skills and gathered extensive experience in data science, analysis and visualization. I have a strong passion for solving complex problems and a desire to stay on the cutting edge of knowledge and innovation.

Highlights

ACROPOLIS v1.2.3

Verions 1.2.3 of ACROPOLIS got released. ACROPOLIS is a generic framework to calculate the evolution of the light-element abundances due to photodisintegration reactions induced by different BSM particles. Check out and download the code on HEP-Forge or  GitHub.

Flounder v1.2.3

Version 1.2.3 of Flounder got released. Flounder is a cross-platform counter that can be used for the time-management in scientific talks, including whole conferences and workshops. Use it directly in your browser on any platform by visiting timer.hep-mh.com or check out the source code on  GitHub.
There also exist native applications for various platforms. Feel free to download them from GitHub as well.
