Herbert Egger

Herbert Egger is a Professor of Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz and heads the Institute of Numerical Mathematics. He is also a Group Leader at RICAM (Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics) and Scientific Director at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on advanced numerical methods for partial differential equations, including structure-preserving discretizations, inverse problems, and computational electromagnetics.

• Current projects include SFB F90-N (CREATOR) for electric machine co-simulation, SPP 2256 for phase-field modeling in additive manufacturing, and TRR 146 on multiscale soft matter systems.
• Key research areas: mixed/hybrid finite element methods, energy-based modeling, model order reduction, radiative transfer, and inverse problem stabilization.

His recent work emphasizes nonlinear magnetostatics, phase separation models, and efficient solvers for time-dependent systems. Egger collaborates internationally with institutions like TU Eindhoven and TU Darmstadt.
