Carolin Kreisbeck

Prof. Dr. Carolin Kreisbeck is a Full Professor at the Katholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU), leading the Chair of Analysis within the Faculty of Mathematics and Geography. Her research focuses on Calculus of Variations, Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, and their applications in Materials Science, Imaging, and Machine Learning. She has held roles such as Head of the Department of Mathematics and Geography and serves as an Associate Editor for Advances in Discrete and Continuous Models.

• Education: PhD in Mathematics (University of Regensburg, 2010), Diploma in Mathematics (University of Augsburg, 2007).

Her research interests include nonlocal variational models, homogenization techniques, and rigorous analysis of multiscale problems, with applications to crystal plasticity, metamaterials, and image processing. She has organized international workshops and conferences, including the Calculus of Variations on Schiermonnikoog (2019) and the Women in Mathematical Material Science conference (2018).

Recent work highlights include studies on auxetic metamaterials, fractional calculus in variational problems, and the mathematical modeling of layered composites. Her contributions have been recognized through awards like the NWO TOP-grant (2019–2021) and the Best Teaching Award from the University of Regensburg (2013).

• Grants & Awards: Includes prestigious fellowships such as the Westerdijk Fellowship (Utrecht University) and the ICTI CMU-Portugal Program.
• Leadership: Deputy spokesperson for the GAMM Activity Group on Analysis of Partial Differential Equations and a member of the GAMM association.
