Numerical Analysis Group
Our research is mainly focused on numerical mathematics. We are interested in the numerical solution of time dependent ordinary and partial differential equations, numerical linear algebra, and numerical methods for image processing.
Scientists of the Numerical Analysis Group are involved in the Collaborative Research Center 1173 "Wave phenomena - analysis and numerics" at KIT. They are working on the research projects A2, A4, and A7 as well as B10. See here.

From May 30 to June 04, 2027, the workshop Nonlinear Optics: Physics, Analysis and Numerics will take place in Oberwolfach. Marlis Hochbruck is organizer of the workshop together with Kurt Busch, Ramy El-Ganainy, and Caroline Lasser.

From November 22 to 27, 2026, the seminar "Numerics for Evolutionary PDEs" will take place in Oberwolfach. Marlis Hochbruck is organizer of the workshop together with Caroline Lasser, Olga Mula, and Jörg Nick.

This week on October 1st and 2nd there is the joint workshop Meshfree Methods for Magnetic Schrödinger-Type Equations together with HU Berlin, Kiel University, and TU Munich.

Congratulation to Marlis Hochbruck. In May 2024 the Elite Network of Bavaria appointed her as a member of the International Commission. The Commission, which is composed of pre-eminent figures, advises the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts in setting up and evaluating Elite Graduate Programs, International Doctorate Programs and Junior Research Groups under the umbrella of the Elite Network of Bavaria.
Further information
Congratulations to Benjamin Dörich. His project “Numerical methods for nonlinear optics in plasmonic nanogaps” was recognized as a KIT Junior Research Group and he was appointed “KIT Associate Fellow” on 07.05.2024. As a “KIT Associate Fellow”, he has the opportunity to participate in the doctoral procedures of his own group members.
