I am researcher at the Institute of Applied Mathematics and Geometry of RWTH Aachen University. I work on numerical methods for hyperbolic and parabolic differential equations and on mathematical modeling. I have focused, in particular, on tempo-spatial modeling of cancer related processes and recently on network models of roads and blood vessels. Take a look at this video of a fluid-structure coupling simulation I have recently worked on.

With regard to numerical simulations I have worked on Lagrange-Galerkin methods, implicit-explicit finite volume schemes, adaptive mesh refinement techniques and mass transport/splitting methods. My research interests further include the mathematical analysis of differential equations resulting from the modeling.

In the previous semester I was interim professor at the Department of Mathematics of RWTH Aachen University.
