Marcel Steinhardt

Marcel Steinhardt is a researcher at the Department of Mathematics, Technische Universität Darmstadt, specializing in optimal control of hyperbolic conservation laws and balance equations on networks. His work focuses on variational calculus applications in networked systems, generalized Nash equilibrium problems, and nonlinear hyperbolic systems.

He has presented his research at major international conferences including the International Symposium on Mathematical Programming (ISMP), SIAM Conference on Optimization, and the International Conference on Hyperbolic Problems (HYP). Recent talks include topics like 'A Variational Calculus for Optimal Control of Networks of Scalar Conservation Laws' and 'Generalized Nash Equilibrium Problems Governed by Hyperbolic Conservation Laws.'

Teaching roles include assisting in courses such as Statistics/Probability Theory, Scientific Computing, and Mathematics for Engineering disciplines. He has collaborated with faculty members like Prof. Stefan Ulbrich and Prof. Jan Giesselmann.

His research emphasizes mathematical modeling of complex networks, optimization under constraints, and numerical methods for hyperbolic PDEs. Ongoing work explores equilibrium solutions in networked systems and variational approaches to control theory.
