News
- Maria Lukacova and I organize the conference “Numerical Methods for Hyperbolic Problems 2025” at TU Darmstadt
Consultation hour
Friday 1:30pm – 2:30pm.
There will be consultation hour on November 15th
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.
Publications
- Hyperbolic conservation laws
- Compressible fluid flows
- Discontinuous Galerkin Methods
- A-priori and a-posteriori error estimates
- Model-adaptation
- Uncertainty quantification
- Observer-based data assimilation
Winter term 2024/25
- Introduction to numerical mathematics
- MSc Seminar Numerical Mathematics
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,
BSc
- Structure preserving DG-in-time scheme for gradient flows
- Structure preserving DG-in-time schemes for Hamiltonian systems
- Model adaptation in port-Hamiltonian systems
MSc
- A posteriori error estimates for mixed finite elements for wave equations
- A posteriori error estimates for finite volume schemes for the heat equation
- A priori error estimates for a finite volume scheme for the Keller-Segel system

Other areas of my expertise where I would be happy to supervise theses are
- Discontinuous Galerkin schemes
- hyperbolic conservation laws
- a-priori and a-posteriori error estimators
- compressible multiphase flows
please contact me if you are interested in one of those.
Observer-based data assimilation for time-dependent flows in gas networks (Subproject C05 in SFB-TRR154 funded by German Research Foundation – DFG). This is a joint project with Martin Gugat, FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg.
A posteriori error control for statistical solutions of barotropic Navier-Stokes equations. Project in DFG SPP-2410 jointly with S. Krumscheid (KIT).
Dissipative solutions for the Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system and their numerical treatment. Project in DFG SPP-2410 jointly with Ph. Öffner (JGU Mainz).
