New Homepage: jakobegger.at
I've used this website for everything I wanted to publish, ranging from university projects to my app. I had the urge to clean this up, so I decided to create two new homepages. I now have a personal homepage at jakobegger.at, and I have a business website at eggerapps.at.
Blitz Talk at NSConference 2012
I just returned from the Mac developer conference NSConference 2012 in Reading. I gave a short talk about loading data in the background. You can find slides and sample code here.
Cheap Trickles
In November 2011, I finished a two month project with Chris Wojtan, where I worked on a novel approach to fluid dynamic simulations.

My Diploma Thesis
After two years of hard work I can finally present my diploma thesis.

Microscopic Theory of the Lennard-Jones Fluid |
We also published an article in the Journal of Low Temperature Physics that includes some of my data: Bose and Fermi Gases with Lennard–Jones Interactions.
MDB Viewer
Whenever I work on a web site, someone will eventually send me a Microsoft Access file with all the data to be published. Copying tables from those .mdb files to a MySQL database is a complex procedure.

To make this easier, I have written a Mac app named MDB Viewer. I use it to open Access files and export them to various formats. MDB Viewer is based on the Open Source MDB Tools, and comes with all the spit and polish you expect from a Mac app. It's available for sale on the Mac App Store, where I'm receiving lots of 5 star reviews.
Graph10k
Graph10k is a web app I created for the 10k apart contest in Summer 2010. It is a minimalistic function grapher featuring a powerful equation editor. The focus lies on ease of use and beautiful design. At the moment, it works in modern desktop browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome and IE9 preview). Graph10k got a mention on Microsofts IE Blog. You can have a look at it here
Simplified FHNC
The topic of my diploma thesis is the Fermi Hypernetted-Chain theory, and its application to 3He. These are the slides for a talk I gave in november 2009 about a simplified form of the FHNC method.

Laser Induced Nanostructures
These are the slides for a short talk I gave at a seminar in june 2009.

MolD.app
I created a molecular dynamics simulation for a course on computational physics in 2008. It's a very basic MD simulation of a homogenous system of particles interacting via a Lennard-Jones potential.

While MolD might not be on the cutting edge of scientific breakthrough, it features cutting edge visualisations! We've used MolD.app several times at the institute for demonstrations.
