Research
Beside theoretical contributions to analysis and stochastics and practical contributions to biomechanics the main focus is on mathematical models in engineering.
The main research areas in our unit are:
- Analysis, numerical analysis and modelling of partial differential equations (Heiko Gimperlein)
- Computing and modelling with (imprecise) probabilities and non-probabilistic approaches (Thomas Fetz)
- Oxidative damage & repair of membrane lipids in health and disease (Lukas Neumann)
- Image-guided Diagnosis and Theraoy (IGDT): Integrating Multimodal Strategies For Clinical Research (Lukas Neumann)
- Computational engineering in structures and biomechanics (Robert Eberle)
The work area is embedded in international research in all of the above areas and is an active partner of the research center "Computational Engineering". Another important activity of the department is supporting and advising other departments of the faculty on mathematical issues arising in engineering research. Traditionally, research is funded by the "Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung" (FWF), but in recent years cooperation with partners from the construction industry has been intensified and several projects have been funded by the "Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft" (FFG) and research projects funded by third parties have been carried out with industrial partners.
Theses
We regularly supervise Bachelor, master and PhD theses in mathematics and engineering:
