Jan-Frederik Pietschmann

Jan-Frederik Pietschmann is a Professor for Inverse Problems at the University of Augsburg's Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology. He previously held the same position at TU Chemnitz (2018–2023) and served as a Research Associate at institutions including the University of Münster and TU Darmstadt.

• University of Cambridge (PhD, Mathematics, 2008–2011)
• University of Münster (Diploma, Mathematics and Physics, 2008)
• Habilitation in Mathematics, University of Münster, 2018

His research focuses on the analysis of nonlinear PDEs, gradient flows, and parameter identification in PDEs. Recent work explores applications to cell invasion, pedestrian dynamics, neurite growth, and organic semiconductors. Publications highlight his expertise in optimal transport, cross-diffusion systems, and uncertainty quantification.

Notable trends in his 15 most recent articles include

• Nonlinear PDEs for biological and physical systems
• Optimal transport on networks and metric graphs
• Computational methods for inverse problems

His current team includes Gianna Götzmann, Carmen Tretmans, and Team Assistant Juliane Krautz. Contact details: jan-f.pietschmann@uni-a.de, +49 821 598-3926.
