Eike Mueller

Dr. Eike Mueller is a Reader (Associate Professor) in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath. His research focuses on developing fast numerical algorithms for solving physical problems across scales, from atmospheric models to subatomic particles. As part of the Numerical Analysis group, he specializes in parallel computing implementations using frameworks like DUNE and Firedrake/PyOP2. His work is characterized by close collaboration with the Met Office on weather and climate forecasting models.

Research interests center on numerical techniques for complex systems, emphasizing parallel computing architectures including GPU clusters. Key areas include massively parallel solvers for PDEs, multilevel Monte Carlo methods for atmospheric dispersion, and performance-portable frameworks for physics simulations. Recent work explores machine learning integration with traditional numerical methods for enhanced computational efficiency.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on accelerating scientific computation through novel algorithms. Recent articles emphasize the application of multigrid methods to climate modeling, neural networks in numerical integration, and Bayesian inference techniques. A significant portion of work targets performance optimization on modern hardware architectures including GPU acceleration.

Research leadership includes principal investigator roles for major EPSRC projects: 'MGHyPE: An ExaHyPE version with a multigrid solver' and 'IAA – Accelerating climate- and weather-forecasts with faster multigrid solvers'. Collaboration with the Met Office has resulted in operational improvements to weather prediction models through bespoke solver development.
