News

  • We are co-organizing a winter school on Model Reduction for Optimization and Control February 19-23, 2024 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
  • Two of our proposals in the DFG priority program “Hyperbolic Balance Laws in Fluid Mechanics: Complexity, Scales, Randomness” will be funded
    • A posteriori error control for statistical solutions of barotropic Navier-Stokes equations, jointly with S. Krumscheid (KIT)
    • Dissipative solutions for the Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system and their numerical treatment, jointly with Ph. Öffner (Mainz)
  • We are co-organizing a minisymposium on “Hierarchical Modeling in Computational Engineering” at the GAMM annual meeting 2024 together with J. Kowalski (RWTH Aachen) and M. Torrilhon (RWTH Aachen)

Consultation hour

Wednesday 1.30pm – 2.30pm.

In the time from August 30 to September 30 there will be no consultation hour. Please send me an email.

If this time is inconvenient for you please send me a mail so that we can arrange another date – or just drop by at my office.

Teaching

Summer Term 2023

  • BSc Seminar Numerics
  • Interdisciplinary project

Winter Term 2023/24

  • BSc Seminar Numerics
  • Numerics of Partial Differential Equations

These are examples of thesis topics that I would be happy to supervise. If you are interested in any of these topics please send me an email. The topic will be made precise once we have discussed your scientific background and interests. If you are interested in different topic in numerical mathematics that is also possible,

I give links to the literature for each topic. The literature is supposed to convey an impression of what the topic is about. It is not necessary to understand this literature in detail before working on any of the topics.
