Marco ten Eikelder

Marco ten Eikelder is a postdoctoral researcher and teacher in the Numerical Mechanics group at the Technical University of Darmstadt. His work centers on numerical analysis and mathematical modeling of partial differential equations, with applications in computational mechanics and fluid dynamics. He develops advanced discretization techniques, including finite element and isogeometric analysis methods, to improve the accuracy and stability of computer simulations for complex mechanical systems.

His educational qualifications are as follows:

• B.S. in GitHub, GitHub University, 2012
• M.S. in Jekyll, GitHub University, 2014
• Ph.D. in Version Control Theory, GitHub University, expected 2018

Ten Eikelder's primary research interests include:

• Computational Mechanics
• Numerical Analysis
• Fluid Dynamics
• Partial Differential Equations
• Finite Element Methods
• Isogeometric Analysis

His research aims to develop thermodynamically consistent models for multiphase flows, eliminate numerical artifacts such as the Gibbs phenomenon, and create efficient discretization techniques for both incompressible and compressible flows. Recent work extends to multiscale-multiphysics frameworks for biological applications, such as liver tissue modeling.

The trends in his publications over the last few years show a progression from foundational work on energy stability in stabilized methods to advanced modeling of multiphase flows and biomechanical systems. Key themes include phase-field modeling, divergence-conforming discretizations, and the integration of variational multiscale methods with entropy principles for discontinuity capturing.
