1. Active Galactic Nuclei in galaxy surveys : Empirical paths to the fiery hearts of cosmic beasts
Abstract : Some galaxies emit excessive amounts of light from their centers, caused by accretion of gas onto super-massive black holes (SMBH). These galactic cores are often referred to as Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and they come in many different forms, distinguishable by their emission properties. READ MORE

2. Advances in Task-Based Parallel Programming for Distributed Memory Architectures
Abstract : It has become common knowledge that parallel programming is needed for scientific applications, particularly for running large scale simulations. Different programming models are introduced for simplifying parallel programming, while enabling an application to use the full computational capacity of the hardware. READ MORE

3. Improving OpenMP Productivity with Data Locality Optimizations and High-resolution Performance Analysis
Abstract : The combination of high-performance parallel programming and multi-core processors is the dominant approach to meet the ever increasing demand for computing performance today. The thesis is centered around OpenMP, a popular parallel programming API standard that enables programmers to quickly get started with writing parallel programs. READ MORE

4. The OH/IR Star Population in the Galactic Center
Abstract : The OH/IR stars and M-type Mira variables, that form the topic of this thesis are in two important ways different from OH/IR stars found elsewhere in the Galaxy. Their location in the central few tens of parsecs of the Galactic center allows one to study the dynamics of the Galaxy on that scale, and to investigata a population of evolved stars with a high metal abundance.
