معرفی
Jan Giesselmann is a Professor of Mathematics – Numerics at the Department of Mathematics, Technical University of Darmstadt, serving since October 2018. He currently holds the position of Dean of the Department of Mathematics since October 2024, with prior academic appointments at the University of Stuttgart and RWTH Aachen University.
Education:
- 2001: Abitur, Widukind Gymnasium Enger
- 2006: Diplom in Mathematics, University of Bielefeld
- 2011: PhD in Mathematics, University of Stuttgart
- 2015: Habilitation in Mathematics, University of Stuttgart
Giesselmann's research centers on hyperbolic conservation laws and compressible fluid flows, employing discontinuous Galerkin methods with rigorous a-priori and a-posteriori error analysis. His work integrates model-adaptation and uncertainty quantification for complex systems, extending to observer-based data assimilation in gas networks and compressible multi-phase flows. He bridges theoretical numerical analysis with engineering applications through structure-preserving schemes and high-order methods.
Current Research Leadership:
- Principal Investigator: Observer-based data assimilation for time-dependent flows in gas networks (DFG SFB-TRR154)
- Co-PI: A posteriori error control for statistical solutions of barotropic Navier-Stokes equations (DFG SPP-2410)
- Co-PI: Dissipative solutions for the Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system (DFG SPP-2410)
Giesselmann actively supervises BSc/MSc theses on DG schemes, error estimation, and operator learning for conservation laws. His teaching portfolio includes advanced courses like Numerical Methods of Hyperbolic Problems and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods. He co-led COST Action CA18232's working group on numerical methods (2022-2024) and maintains an open-door consultation policy for students.
