Luis Ammann

Luis Ammann is a Researcher at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Faculty of Mathematics, working in the research group 'Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations' led by Prof. Dr. Irwin Yousept. He is based in Room WSC-W-4.19 at Thea-Leymann-Straße 9, D-45127 Essen, and can be contacted at luis.ammann@uni-due.de.

His primary research interests include Analysis and Optimization of Wave Phenomena, Algorithms for Nonlinear Problems, Numerical Analysis of PDEs, Full Waveform Inversion, and Sequential Quadratic Programming. His work focuses on mathematical and numerical methods for inverse problems in wave propagation, particularly using PDE-constrained optimization techniques for acoustic imaging applications.

Ammann's recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate expertise in hyperbolic PDE-constrained optimization, with emphasis on full waveform inversion and sequential quadratic programming methods. His research bridges theoretical analysis with computational implementation for seismic imaging problems, showing strong trends in second-order optimization techniques and numerical analysis of wave equations.

He has taught multiple courses at the University of Duisburg-Essen since Winter Term 2020/2021, including Numerical Mathematics Practical, Acoustic and Electromagnetic Wave Phenomena, Optimization Practical, and Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations across various semesters through Summer Term 2024.

Luis Ammann is an active member of the 'Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations' research group, collaborating with Prof. Dr. Irwin Yousept and colleagues on projects involving wave phenomena, inverse problems, and numerical optimization techniques for partial differential equations.
