Mathias J. Krause

Dr. Mathias J. Krause is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). He leads the interdisciplinary Lattice Boltzmann Research Group (LBRG) since April 2013 and has habilitated in 2021. His work spans applied mathematics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and high-performance computing (HPC), with a focus on optimization under partial differential equation constraints.

• Education: Studied mathematics with economics at the University of Karlsruhe (TH) and Cardiff University, graduating in 2006.
• Research: Specializes in numerical simulations using Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBM) for fluid flows, with applications in engineering and interdisciplinary projects.
• Awards: Recognized at the Itanium Solutions Alliance Innovation Awards (2007, 2009) and Mimics Innovation Award (2011).
• Leadership: Initiator of the open-source library OpenLB, coordinator for international exchange programs, and key contributor to tutor training and PR initiatives at KIT.
