Thomas Schuster

Prof. Dr. Thomas Schuster is a Full Professor of Numerical Mathematics at Saarland University, leading the chair for Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics. His work is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics and is located at the Saarbrücken campus in building E1 1. He specializes in inverse problems, regularization methods in Banach spaces, numerical analysis, and applications in tomography and material science. His research emphasizes theoretical foundations and practical algorithms for vector/tensor tomography, defect detection in composites, and elastic wave equations.

Research interests include dynamic refractive tensor tomography, iterative solvers for split-feasibility problems, and sequential subspace optimization. He has contributed to the book Regularization Methods in Banach Spaces. Teaching activities span numerical methods, computerized tomography, and inverse problems in elasticity. His team includes research assistants like Lukas Vierus, Alice Oberacker, and Dean Zenner, with former members such as JProf. Dr. Anne Wald.

Prof. Schuster’s office is in room 4.14, with consultation hours on Tuesdays 10:30-11:30 AM. The group’s projects focus on bridging theory and applications in inverse problems, with collaborations extending to industrial and medical fields.
