In the research group, we investigate how collective behaviour arises from the interaction of many similar particles or "agents", for example transport processes in porous materials or the formation of ant trails. Next to statistical physics, high-performance simulations are an important tool for us, for which we have developed "HAL's MD package". This comprehensive software provides large-scale molecular dynamics simulations and was specially designed for parallelisation on GPUs. It is open source and licensed under the LGPL. Details can be found on the website https://halmd.org
