Modelling, Simulation and Optimization to save Energy

Climate change has acquired an increased importance – in society as well as politics. Pupils participate in the continually growing „Fridays for Future“ movement and The Greens – EFA (the green group of the European Parliament) were historically successful in the latest European election.  And Academia is also participating! Hello, […]

Mathematical Modeling for Patient-specific Assessment of Tumor Margins for Glioma

Malignant glioma make up about half of all primary brain tumors in adults. These rapidly growing neoplasms are characterized by direct invasion of the neighboring brain tissue and occur in all age classes, being most frequent in later life. Due to their high proliferation rate and diffusive tumor infiltration it […]

A PhD in the DAAD Program “Mathematics in Industry and Commerce”

  Agent Based Modeling of Spatially Inhomogeneous Host-Vector Disease Transmission In recent years disease transmission has been studied intensively. In these models, disease transmission represents the contact between host individuals in directly transmitted diseases, or between host and vector individuals in host-vector diseases. A series of different models for vector-bourne […]

Flow of Blood: Coupling hyperbolic PDEs with switched DAEs

Modeling the flow of blood in the human circulatory system is a challenging task involving many mathematical aspects. In this joined project of the TU Kaiserslautern and the University of Groningen funded by the DFG SPP1962 Priority Program  we study hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with boundary conditions driven by switched […]
