Christian Zillober

Christian Zillober serves as a Lecturer at the Chair of Mathematics VII (Numerical Mathematics and Optimization) within the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Würzburg. His academic career focuses on optimization methods with particular emphasis on solving complex engineering design problems through mathematical programming approaches. The department is housed in Building 30 (Mathematik West) at Emil-Fischer-Straße 30 in Würzburg.

Dr. Zillober's research spans multiple areas of optimization including nonlinear programming, structural and topology optimization, interior point methods, and applications in data mining and machine learning. His work bridges theoretical mathematical methods with practical industrial applications, particularly in engineering design. He has developed specialized software tools like SCPIP for solving structural optimization problems, demonstrating his commitment to creating practical implementations of mathematical theories.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a strong focus on sequential convex programming methods and their application to large-scale optimization problems. His research trajectory shows consistent development from theoretical foundations in the 1990s toward increasingly sophisticated implementations for industrial applications in the 2000s. His work frequently addresses the challenge of scaling optimization methods to handle real-world engineering problems with numerous variables and constraints.

Dr. Zillober has maintained an active teaching schedule at the University of Würzburg, offering courses in numerical mathematics and optimization. His office is located in Room 02.009, and he can be reached at +49 931 31-85077 or via email at christian.zillober@uni-wuerzburg.de for academic inquiries and appointments.
