Friedhelm Schönfeld

Professor Friedhelm Schönfeld serves as Professor for Engineering Mathematics at the Department of Engineering Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, RheinMain University of Applied Sciences (HSRM) since 2008. His academic foundation stems from Physics studies at the University of Cologne (1990-1995) and a doctorate in Theoretical Solid State Physics (1996-1999).

His research focuses on advanced mathematical applications in engineering contexts, with particular emphasis on computational modeling of fluid dynamics and microscale systems. Key research domains include multiphysics simulations, microfluidics, environmental pollutant dispersion analysis, and causal inference methodologies. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with practical engineering challenges.

Professor Schönfeld teaches engineering mathematics courses and supervises academic projects and theses. Prior to joining HSRM, he held progressive research positions at the Institute of Microtechnology Mainz (IMM) GmbH from 1999-2008, culminating as Group Leader for Mathematical Modeling and Simulation.
