News
We are organizing a workshop at CIRM from June 21-23 on “Modelling, analysis and numerical methods of complex dynamics” together with Petra Csomos (Budapest), Bérénice Grec (Paris) and Milana Pavic-Colic (Novi-Sad) and funded by COST Action Mat-Dyn-Net
Consultation hour
Wednesday 1.30pm – 2.30pm.
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
Research Interests
- Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
- Compressible fluid flows
- Discontinuous Galerkin Methods
- A-priori and a-posteriori error estimates

Teaching
Summer Term 2023
- BSc Seminar Numerics
- Interdisciplinary Project
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 a mail. 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.
BSc
