Jens Oeser

Jens Oeser is a Researcher at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), affiliated with the Faculty of Geosciences. Since 2004, he has been part of the department, contributing to computational geophysics and geodynamic modeling. He holds a Dr. rer. nat. (2009) from LMU, focusing on developing integrated IT infrastructures for simulating complex geophysical processes under Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Bunge. His expertise includes parallel computing, finite-element methods, and high-performance cluster systems applied to geophysical problems.

Education:

• 1996: Highschool, Martin-Luther-Gymnasium, Hartha
• 2004: Dipl.-Geophys., TU Bergakademie Freiberg
• 2009: Dr. rer. nat., LMU München

Research Interests: Jens Oeser specializes in computational geophysics with a focus on geodynamic modeling, numerical simulation techniques, and the development of robust IT infrastructures for large-scale scientific computing. His work addresses challenges in parallelization, cluster computing, and high-performance software frameworks like MPI and PETSc. His early research (2002–2004) centered on solving large linear systems and parallelizing geoelectrical finite-element models.

Labs/Teams: Involved in collaborative projects such as the Munich GeoCenter’s interdisciplinary initiatives, notably the UPLIFT Research Training Group (geophysical modeling of vertical motion processes) and the DeepDyn Priority Programme (core-mantle dynamics).
