About This Site

I have set up this website in order to demonstrate, explain and organize several of my projects and thoughts that I am working on. The focus is mostly on  informatics, optimization and operations research , but will also cover other topics such as art (see  gallery  ).

Once upon a time, I needed a nickname for all accounts, I was going to create. As I was/am not very creative, so I searched for a word, that describes a human being. It came to my mind, that a human is derived from a single cell which splits itself multiple times, and therefore I chose splitcells .

Another time I needed an alternative nickname for an  Warframe  account . This was caused by the fact, that the nickname splitcells was already used. So I needed an alternative nickname. After thinking for some seconds, I used splitcellsnet because a human is a network of cells, which were created by splitting. Yeah, I am that creative.

While I created this site, I obviously needed a domain name for which I used my alternative nickname. In order to make the domain name as short as possible and without additional letters which are not part of my nickname, I didn't want to use splitcellsnet.com for example and therefore I picked splitcells.net.
