Thomas Schuster

Prof. Dr. Thomas Schuster is a Full Professor of Numerical Mathematics at Saarland University, affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics and the Department of Mathematics. His research focuses on inverse problems, including vector/tensor tomography, terahertz tomography, parameter identification for elastic wave equations, regularization techniques in Banach spaces, and applications in magnetic particle imaging. He leads a research group involving collaborators from institutions like the University of Würzburg, DLR, and Helmut-Schmidt-Universität Hamburg, funded by DFG and BMBF projects.

Key projects include non-destructive material testing for fiber composites, terahertz tomography development with SKZ, and deep learning integration in tomography. His work combines theoretical advancements with applied numerical methods and optimization.

Prof. Schuster supervises research assistants such as Alice Oberacker and Dean Zenner and collaborates on grants like (MPI)2 for magnetic particle imaging. His office is located in building E1 1, room 4.14, Saarbrücken campus.
