News

• I am announcing a doctorate student and/or postdoc position.
• New article: Was ist eigentlich Wissenschaftliches Rechnen? in Forschung & Lehre, March 2013, pages 216-217.
• Springer CSE Prize 2011: See press releases by Springer Verlag and Simula Research Laboratory.
• I found this (German) newspaper article about intelligence quite remarkable. And there's another one.

Research

I am developing numerical techniques for efficient computer simulations. Some geophysical applications are listed below.

• Thermal convection (a.k.a. plate tectonics)
• Seismic wave propagation (a.k.a. earthquakes)
• Hyperbolic conservation laws (a.k.a. atmospheric flow)

The mathematical methods considered relate to the following fields.

• Scientific computing and applied mathematics
• Large scale parallel numerical solution of PDEs
• Scalable algorithms for adaptive mesh refinement

(See a summary on my research page. See also the website that I maintained for my previous appointment at ICES, UT Austin, USA. Check out my profile on Google Scholar.)

Teaching

Please see the menu on the left for teaching information. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Occasionally I will post documents here.

• Gauß theorem for tensor divergence
