About

Hey, my name is Jan Adelsbach, I’m a currently 30 year old science fanatic from Saarland Germany. I have two B. Sc. (Hons) degrees:

  • B. Sc. (Hons) Open
  • B. Sc. (Hons) Mathematics

I’m currently studying towards a MSc. Computer Science degree.

I work as research associate at an university institute.

You can reach me at jan [at] jadelsbach [dot] de.

Education

University

My specialities are mathematical optimization and numerical algorithms. Though I also specialized in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism as part of my studies.

My Facilities

Datacenter

Rack 1

Since fall 2009 I have a dedicated G.SHDSL (since 2017 or so it’s symmetric ADSL) internet connection for my basement based datacentre which I use to host my private endeavors including this website.

Also I do have two Silicon Graphic Origin 2000 Supercomputers. They work fine but I don’t usually power them up especially since they take a tremendous amount of energy (that’s for one module out of two in a rack! And there is also the MMSC controller and a disk array per rack with their own power supplies as well) and heat up the rooms quite fast. For playing with IRIX I have a smaller Origin 200 as well however.

Workshop

Workshop

I have a small metal working workshop, consiting of:

  • Mill with DRO (SK30)
  • Lathe (⌀180mm, l=400mm)
  • Drill Press (MK2)
  • Metal Band Saw
  • Sheet Bender/Cutter/Roller (250mm)
  • Sheet Bender (600mm)

Microscopy

Workshop

I have a small microscopy lab consisting of multiple bright and darkfield microscopes, a polarization microscope, an inverted microscope and two stereo microscopes. I also have phase contrast accessories.

Astronomy

Moon

I have a 160/900mm Newton Reflector and an older 1960’s japanese 60/700mm Tasco Refractor.

Electronics

Electronic Laboratory

I have everything required for electronics with exception of a good LCR meter and a spectrum analyzer.
