Research Interests and Current Activities

  • Theory and numerical aspects of partial differential equations
  • Stochastic Analysis
  • Optimization Theory, Inverse Problems
  • Parameter Optimization in numerical simulations of structual mechanics


Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematical Sciences,  as a member of the interdepartmental Material Research and Engineering Center (MRSEC) initiative at Carnegie Mellon University.
Recently, I started to study the complex graingrowth problems in Material Sciences.  Here I focus on the development of 2D/3D simulations of graingrowth to gain more insight into the so-called grainboundary character distribution (GBCD).

Besides this I am interested in modelling biological and medical applications by means of applied stochastic analysis
My earlier research activities include also the Meteorological Data Assimilation Problem,  treated as a differential optimization problem (read more at  PhD Thesis) and parameter optimization in the numerical simulation of structural mechanics.

In spring 2007, I will teach the course 'Numerical Methods',  21-369.
