Andrea Beck

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andrea Beck is a faculty member and Managing Director of the Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (IAG) at the University of Stuttgart. She leads the Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics working group, focusing on high-precision numerical methods for supercomputers, particularly discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. Her research spans fluid mechanics, aeroacoustics, plasma physics, and multiphase flows, with applications in wind energy, helicopter systems, and environmental aerodynamics.

• Role: Professor and Managing Director, IAG
• Committees: Member of the DFG Review Board, Strategy Committee for National HPC, and steering committee of High Performance Center Stuttgart.

Her research emphasizes high-order methods, turbulence modeling, and data-driven approaches. She teaches courses such as 'Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics' and 'CFD Programming Projects', and has developed open-source software like FLEXI and HOPR for high-performance computing.

Recent articles highlight advancements in entropy-stable DG methods, turbulence simulation using graph neural networks, and multiphase flow modeling. Her work integrates machine learning with CFD to enhance simulation accuracy and efficiency.
