research interests:
Mathematical Fluid Mechanics
theory of hyperbolic conservation laws
• towards a proper solution concept for the multi-dim. compressible Euler equations
• convex integration, non-uniqueness for the multi-dim. compressible Euler equations
structure preserving numerical schemes for Euler and ideal magnetohydrodynamics
• well-balanced and low Mach schemes for Euler equations with gravity
• genuinely multi-dim. schemes
• structure-preserving compact high-order method method
applications in astrophysics
• numerical schemes for evolving stellar structure and evolution
• simulations of the evolution of the universe including magnetic fields
kinetic equations and plasma, theory & numerics
• multi-species models, existence and qualitative behavior
• numerical schemes for multi-species BGK equations based on a variational procedure
PDE inverse problems, kinetic models in biology with coefficients determined by experimental data
• theory: proving that it is possible to solve certain kinetic PDE inverse problems
• numerics: schemes that determine the coefficients from given experimental data
