Dirk Peschka

Dr. Dirk Peschka is a researcher at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) in Berlin, Germany, where he contributes to the Partial Differential Equations Research Group (FG1). He is affiliated with the Berlin Mathematics Research Center MATH+, the Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM), and the German Physical Society (DPG).

Research Interests

• Mathematical modeling of fluid dynamics and materials science using partial differential equations (PDEs).
• Applications in thin film dynamics, semiconductor devices, and reactive multiphase flows.
• Development of gradient flow frameworks and thermomechanical models via GENERIC formalism.
• Analysis of contact line behavior, dewetting processes, and fluid-structure interaction.
• Numerical methods for semiconductor simulations and geoscience applications.

Publications Trends

His recent work (2022–2025) emphasizes energy-based modeling of thin films, reactive flows, and semiconductor degradation. Key themes include contact line dynamics, gradient flows, and multiscale analysis of materials and fluid systems.
