Research and Studies

Research
In our research we are interested in the analysis and modeling of multiscale problems based on methods from the theory of partial differential equations and the Calculus of Variations. A central topic in our research is homogenization, which is about the mathematical derivation of macroscopic models from models resolving smaller scales. We are interested in problems with applications in continuum mechanics (in particular solid mechanics) and materials science.

We organize workshops, seminars and conferences on national and international level to foster networking and the exchange of ideas.

Studies
We offer courses on the bachelor and master level. Topics include basic and advanced courses in the theory of partial differential equations, the Calculus of Variations and Multiscale Analysis. Moreover, we over courses and seminars on mathematical modeling and basic courses on mathematics for engineers.
