Guido Kanschat

Professor Dr. Guido Kanschat is affiliated with Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg at the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), where he holds the Chair for Mathematical Methods of Simulation. His research focuses on numerics, scientific computing, and finite element methods with applications in radiation transfer, coupled flows, and multigrid solvers.

His recent publications emphasize hybrid discretizations, GPU-accelerated multigrid methods, and discontinuous Galerkin techniques for Stokes equations and biharmonic problems. He is a co-founder of the open-source deal.II library and received the Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software in 2007.
