Alexander Mielke

Prof. Alexander Mielke is a leading mathematician affiliated with the Weierstrass Institute (WIAS) in Berlin, Germany. His work focuses on partial differential equations, gradient systems, and thermodynamic modeling with applications in material science, quantum mechanics, and multiscale systems.

• Institution: Weierstrass Institute (WIAS), Berlin
• Research Interests: Gradient flows, reaction-diffusion systems, optimal transport, variational analysis, and nonlinear mechanics

Research Highlights: Mielke’s research explores the interplay between entropy decay, non-equilibrium steady states, and EDP convergence in gradient systems. His recent work includes self-similar profiles in diffusion equations and GENERIC formalism for thermodynamical models.

Publications: He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed works, including studies on Hellinger–Kantorovich spaces, stochastic homogenization, and quantum-classical coupling. His articles appear in journals like Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., SIAM J. Math. Anal., and J. Nonlinear Sci.
