Lena Baumann

Lena Baumann is a Researcher at the Chair of Mathematics VI (Mathematics in the Natural Sciences) at the University of Würzburg. She is affiliated with the Institute of Mathematics and focuses on mathematical fluid mechanics and kinetic theory. Her work combines numerical methods with reduced-order modeling.

Education:

• PhD Candidate (since 2021), University of Würzburg, supervised by Prof. Dr. Christian Klingenberg
• M.Sc. Mathematics (2018-2021), University of Würzburg
• B.Sc. Mathematics (2015-2018), University of Würzburg with Erasmus+ exchange at Universidad de Salamanca

Research Interests: Numerical solutions of inverse problems in kinetic equations, low-rank approximation techniques, and interplay between kinetic and macroscopic models. Her work emphasizes energy stability and computational efficiency in fluid dynamics and plasma physics.

Recent Work Trends: Recent publications focus on dynamical low-rank methods applied to kinetic models like the Su-Olson problem and Boltzmann-BGK equation. These address stability, conservation properties, and parameter identification in fluid mechanics.

Teaching Experience:

• Tutor for Analysis courses (2016-2020)
• Student assistant roles under PD Dr. Jürgen Grahl and Prof. Dr. Alfio Borzi

Labs/Teams: Member of the Mathematical Fluid Mechanics group, collaborating with researchers like Lukas Einkemmer and Jonas Kusch on kinetic theory projects.
