Software Development

• RoDoBo is a software package for solving optimization problems governed by stationary and nonstationary partial differential equations based on the finite element toolkit Gascoigne. This C++ library is developed for complex optimal control and parameter identification problems. It combines modern optimization techniques for large scale problems with established numerical methods for solving partial differential equations.
• The simulation toolkit Gascoigne is developed for incompressible, compressible, nonreacting and reacting flows in two and three dimensions. It combines error control, adaptive mesh refinement and a fast solution algorithm based on multigrid methods. The discretization of the underlying partial differential equations is done by stabilized finite elements on locally refined meshes. This allows the treatment of complex geometries including curved boundaries.

• Lecturer Award 2019 of the Fachschaft Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik for the central exercise course to the lecture Analysis 1 (Electrical Engineering).
• Felix Klein Teaching Award 2010 for Young Scientists of the Fakulty of Mathematics, Technische Universität München
• Finalist of the “ECCOMAS Award for the Best Ph.D. Theses of 2008 on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering”, nominated by the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik (GAMM)
