Welcome

Welcome to my webpage. I am a PostDoc at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Berlin, and member of the research group Nichtlineare Optimierung und Inverse Probleme of Dietmar Hömberg.

My research mainly focuses on the theory of generalized solutions their approximation and optimal control.

• Generalized solutions to the Ericksen–Leslie model
• Measure-valued, dissipative, entropy solutions
• Weak-strong uniqueness of solutions
• liquid crystal flow
• Relative energy approach
• optimal control
• Induction hardening
• Convergence of discretization methods
