Daniel Lincke studied Computer Science at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena and graduated in 2003 (Diploma). After working two years in an industrial researched company he became a PhD student at PIK in 2006. After finishing his PhD (supervised at the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg) in 2012 he joined GCF as a scientific programmer, where his strong knowledge of different programming paradigms and languages is used in different projects. Currently he is involved in the Adaptation and Social Learning process, where he is responsible for application and further development of the DIVA model. In addition he manages the IT-infrastructure at GCF. He was visiting scientist at State Key Laboratory of Earth Surface Processes and Resource Ecology (Beijing Normal University) (2015/2016), at Coastal Risks & Engineering (CoRE) Lab, University of Central Florida (2024) and at College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University (2024). He also has a former affiliation with the Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean” at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU).
