Ansgar Jüngel

Ansgar Jüngel is a Full Professor for Analysis of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) at the Technische Universität Wien (TU Vienna), affiliated with the E101-Institute for Analysis and Scientific Computing. His academic journey includes roles at universities in Berlin, Konstanz, Mainz, and Vienna since 1991. He specializes in mathematical analysis of cross-diffusion systems, entropy methods, semiconductor models, and quantum fluid dynamics. Notable achievements include an ERC Advanced Grant (2021) and the Tsungming-Tu Award (2011).

Research focuses on nonlinear PDEs with applications in physics, engineering, and biology, emphasizing rigorous existence theory, numerical methods, and entropy-based approaches. Recent projects include 'Emerging network structures and neuromorphic applications' and 'Taming complexity in partial differential systems.' His teaching includes courses on partial differential equations, calculus of variations, and computational finance.

Publications span over 200 works, with key contributions on cross-diffusion models, quantum hydrodynamics, and energy-transport systems. He has supervised numerous PhD students and collaborates internationally on topics like semiconductor simulations and stochastic interacting particle systems. Grants include an FWF Special Research Programme and ERC funding.
