Benjamin Rüth

Benjamin Rüth (also known as Benjamin Rodenberg) is a doctoral candidate and Research Associate (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) at the Chair of Scientific Computing in Computer Science (SCCS) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). He is affiliated with the TUM School of CIT and the Department of Computer Science. His research focuses on fluid-structure interaction (FSI), multiphysics coupling, blackbox coupling, multiscale simulation, and time integration schemes, with a strong emphasis on research software engineering and sustainability. He is a core contributor to the preCICE coupling library, developing tools for partitioned multiphysics simulations.

Education: M.Sc. (hons) in Computational Science and Engineering (2017, TUM) and B.Sc. in Engineering Science (2014, TUM). He advises numerous students on projects related to preCICE, FEniCS, and multiphysics modeling. He teaches courses such as Numerischer Programmieren and Computational Fluid Dynamics, and has coordinated the CSE Master's program. His work includes advancing higher-order time stepping schemes, waveform iteration methods, and integration of physics-informed neural networks.

Research contributions span publications in conferences like SIAM CSE and journals like International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering. He co-developed web tools for teaching in mechanics and mathematics and contributed to open-source software ecosystems like preCICE. His activities include organizing workshops and advising on projects that bridge simulation software and real-world applications.
