Dominik Zimmermann

Dominik Zimmermann is an academic faculty member at the University of Stuttgart, serving as Coordinator of the Teaching Export Center Mathematics (LExMath) and working within the Institute for Analysis, Dynamics and Modeling. He holds a position on the Academic Council and is affiliated with the Chair of Analysis and Modeling. His office is located at Pfaffenwaldring 57, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany.

Dr. Zimmermann's research focuses on the rigorous mathematical justification of modulation equations that arise in pattern-forming processes through formal asymptotic analysis. He is particularly interested in developing general methods for justifying these equations in cases where classical results don't apply, such as in quasilinear pattern-forming systems and those with conserved quantities. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with applications in pattern formation dynamics.

Analysis of his publication record from 2011-2020 reveals a consistent focus on modulation equations, pattern formation, and nonlinear dynamics. His research spans applications from fluid dynamics (water waves, Marangoni convection) to general pattern-forming systems. A notable trend is his emphasis on rigorous mathematical justification of approximations commonly used in the field, particularly examining boundary cases and limitations of established methods.

As Coordinator at LExMath, Zimmermann oversees the mathematics teaching program for engineers, natural scientists, and economists. His responsibilities include coordinating the curriculum for Higher Mathematics courses, advising students, organizing examinations, and training teaching staff. He has been actively involved in teaching Higher Mathematics for engineers since at least the Winter semester 2016/17 and has assisted with various mathematics courses since Summer semester 2008 across multiple engineering disciplines.

His teaching portfolio includes courses such as Higher Mathematics I-IV, Euler and Navier-Stokes Equations, Dynamical Systems, Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematics on the Computer. This extensive teaching experience demonstrates his commitment to mathematical education for technical disciplines.
