Malte Braack

Malte Braack is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel (CAU Kiel). He serves as Director of the Mathematical Seminar and Principal Investigator in the Cluster of Excellence 'The Future Ocean'. Additional roles include Editorial Board membership at the Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computing, participation in the SHUG Extended Executive Board, and involvement in DFG Priority Programs (e.g., Optimization with Partial Differential Equations, MetStroem).

• PhD: University of Heidelberg (1998)
• Habilitation: University of Heidelberg (2005)
• Diploma: University of Hamburg (1994)
• DAAD scholarship: University of Complutense Madrid (1991-1992)

Braack's research focuses on computational mathematics and fluid dynamics, particularly stabilized finite element methods for partial differential equations, reactive flows, and ocean modeling. Recent work includes sedimentation models, Nash equilibria for collective choice, and CO2 leakage detection in marine environments.

His 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) span fluid dynamics, numerical analysis, oceanography, and optimization. Key subfields include Navier-Stokes stabilization, reactive transport, deep learning for geoscience, and game-theoretic policy modeling.
