People
The summer school is organized by the following people.
Organizers
Matthias Maier
Texas A&M University
My principal field of research lies in the finite element simulation of physical problems with two-scale and multiscale phenomena. These are modeling problems where relevant physical processes act on highly different length and time scales.
Timo Sprekeler
Texas A&M University
My research focuses on the numerical analysis and analysis of PDEs, with particular interest in finite element methods, homogenization, and computational multiscale methods.
Lecturers
Andrea Bonito
Texas A&M University
My research centers around the design, analysis and implementation of numerical methods for partial differential equation. In particular, I am interested in adaptive methods, free boundary problems, geometric PDEs, non newtonian fluid dynamics, approximation methods in high dimensions, and optimal learning.
Jean-Luc Guermond
Texas A&M University
I am interested in numerical analysis, Computational fluid dynamics, Robust simulation of hyperbolic conservation equations, multi-scale approximation, homogenization and radiative transport.
Diane Guignard
University of Ottawa, CA
I am interested in the design, analysis, and implementation of numerical methods for partial differential equations, in particular methods based on finite elements. Specific applications include the simulation of the deformation of plates or the approximation of parametric/random differential equations.
Assistants
