معرفی
Prof. Dr. Arnold Reusken is a full Professor of Numerical Mathematics at RWTH Aachen University, affiliated with the Institute for Geometry and Practical Mathematics (IGPM). He has held the Chair for Numerical Mathematics since 1997 and maintains an active research and academic profile in computational mathematics.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Utrecht (1988)
- M.Sc. in Mathematics, University of Utrecht (1984)
His research focuses on the development and analysis of numerical methods for partial differential equations, with particular emphasis on finite element methods, multigrid solvers, and computational techniques for two-phase incompressible flows and PDEs on surfaces. His work bridges theoretical numerical analysis and practical scientific computing applications in fluid dynamics and interfacial phenomena. He has made significant contributions to trace finite element methods, surface Stokes equations, and unfitted discretizations.
The recent publication trend shows sustained activity in numerical methods for evolving surfaces, surface fluid dynamics, and preconditioning techniques. His work often involves rigorous error and stability analysis, demonstrating a strong theoretical foundation.
