Dr. Rer Nat. in Mathematics
Research interests include the mathematical modeling of solid–liquid separation processes in suspensions, encompassing sedimentation–consolidation phenomena and the settling behavior of slurries. Further areas of focus comprise centrifugation and pressure filtration, as well as the settling and fluidization of polydisperse suspensions. The research also addresses the analysis of strongly degenerate parabolic equations, the formulation of constitutive laws for flocculated suspensions, and the study of systems of conservation laws, including those with discontinuous flux functions.
Biografía
My research is concerned with the well-posedness and numerical analysis of conservation laws and related equations such as convection-reaction-diffusion systems. I am especially interested in PDEs with non-standard ingredients, such as discontinuous and non-local fluxes and strongly degenerate nonlinear diffusion, which are motivated from a range of applications including solid-liquid separation in the mining industry, traffic flow, electrocardiology, and mathematical biology.
