Christoph Wintersteiger

Christoph Wintersteiger is a Researcher at TU Wien's Department of Scientific Computing and Modelling, part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Geoinformation. His work focuses on numerical methods for hyperbolic systems, tent pitching algorithms, and spacetime discretization techniques. Key areas include computational mathematics, finite element methods, and applied analysis. He completed his PhD in 2020 with a thesis on Mapped Tent Pitching schemes for hyperbolic systems. His research bridges theoretical numerical analysis and practical applications in acoustics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics.

Education: PhD in Scientific Computing (2020), TU Wien. His academic background includes studies in technical mathematics and engineering. Affiliated with the Network Lab and the E101-03 research division.

Research Interests: Numerical analysis of hyperbolic PDEs, development of efficient tent-pitching schemes for spacetime simulations, finite element methods, and computational approaches to conservation laws. His work emphasizes high-order methods and their implementation in complex geometries.

Publications highlight contributions to convergence analysis of tent-based methods, structure-aware time stepping, and Trefftz-DG methods for wave equations. Recent work explores explicit schemes for Maxwell equations and unfitted FEM for Stokes interface problems.
