Lukas Pflug

Dr. Lukas Pflug is a researcher at the Department of Mathematics, School of Engineering, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). His work spans applied mathematics, chemical engineering, and materials science with a focus on nonlocal conservation laws, topology optimization, and nanoparticle synthesis.

• Primary affiliation: FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
• Research themes: Nonlocal PDEs, Robust Optimization, Plasmonics

Key contributions include:

• Developing mathematical frameworks for nonlocal conservation laws and their singular limit problems
• Advancing topology optimization techniques for photonic crystals and composite materials
• Pioneering simulation-driven approaches in nanoparticle synthesis and characterization

His methodology integrates theoretical analysis with computational implementation, producing 15+ peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals like Advanced Optical Materials and SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics between 2023-2025.
