Leonard Kreutz

Dr. Leonard Kreutz is a Researcher at the Department of Mathematics, Technical University of Munich (TUM), leading an Emmy Noether Junior Research Group since 2023. He has held postdoctoral positions at Carnegie Mellon University, WWU Münster, and Universität Wien, and was an acting professor at TUM in 2019.

• Education: PhD (2018) from Gran Sasso Science Institute, Honors Master (2014) and Bachelor (2013) in Mathematics at TUM.

Research Interests: His work focuses on the Calculus of Variations, Multiscale Methods, and Discrete-to-Continuum Limits, particularly in modeling crystallization, elastic materials with voids, and topological singularities in spin systems. He explores free-discontinuity problems and geometric rigidity in variable domains.

Publications span 2023–2017, emphasizing atomistic models, nonlinear elasticity, and homogenization across mathematics, materials science, and physics. Collaborative projects with leading experts like M. Cicalese and A. Braides dominate his output.

• Scientific Award: Emmy Noether Junior Research Group Grant (2023–present).

Collaborations include institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University, WWU Münster, and the University of Vienna. His research intersects with groups focused on Mathematical Finance, Numerical Analysis, and Quantum Information Theory at TUM.
