Katharina Kormann

Prof. Dr. Katharina Kormann is a Professor in Numerical Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics, Ruhr University Bochum. She leads the Numerics and Scientific Computing research group, focusing on developing structure-preserving numerical methods and high-performance computing techniques for partial differential equations. Her work has applications in plasma physics and quantum dynamics.

Research interests include numerics of high-dimensional problems, efficient algorithms for supercomputers, and low-rank tensor approximations. She coordinates projects like the PDExa initiative and the SNuBIC Research Unit, involving dynamical low-rank approximations for two-particle systems.

• Team members: Dr. Ivo Dravins (PostDoc), Omar Malik, Tileuzhan Mukhamet, and Lukas Hensel (PhD students), and Victoria Grieß (student assistant).
• Labs/Teams: Kormann Group within the Numerics division of the Floer Center of Geometry.

No specific grants or awards are listed, but her research is supported through collaborative projects and institutional resources.
