معرفی
George Vossen serves as Professor of Applied Mathematics and Computer-Aided Simulation at the Department of Engineering and Computer Science, Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. He holds the administrative position of Chairman of the University Examination Board and teaches core mathematics courses including Mathematik 1 and 2 for bachelor programs, Numerische Methoden for master programs, and Angewandte Mathematik - Optimierung as an elective. His office is located in room B 410 with consultation hours by email appointment.
Professor Vossen's research focuses on optimal control theory for partial differential equations with industrial applications. His work develops mathematical models for laser cutting processes to minimize surface roughness and stabilize melt flow boundaries, optimizes charging protocols for lithium-ion batteries using electro-chemical models, and advances model reduction techniques for complex systems. He has made significant contributions to switching time optimization in bang-bang control and proper orthogonal decomposition methods for parabolic control problems.
His publication record from 2010-2018 demonstrates consistent interdisciplinary work bridging mathematics with engineering challenges. The research shows strong thematic continuity in developing numerical methods for real-world optimal control problems, with applications spanning laser technology, energy systems, and biomedical engineering. His collaborative approach is evident through numerous co-authored publications addressing practical industrial constraints.
