Michael Karow

Michael Karow is a Researcher at the Institute of Mathematics, Technical University of Berlin, affiliated with the Faculty II - Mathematics and Natural Sciences. His research focuses on Numerical Linear Algebra, Control Theory, and Matrix Perturbation, with specific interests in Pseudospectra, Stability Radii, and Structured Eigenvalue Problems.

Educational background includes a Ph.D. (2003) from the University of Bremen, titled "Geometry of Spectral Value Sets," and a Habilitation (2009) at TU Berlin. His work spans collaborations with institutions like IIT Guwahati, EPFL Lausanne, and SUNY Utica.

His research involves stabilizing discrete-time linear systems via matrix factorizations, structured matrix pencils with no spillover effects, and backward error analysis for palindromic polynomials. Publications highlight applications in finite element model updating, eigenvalue sensitivity, and geometric matrix theory.

Teaching includes courses like Numerical Mathematics 1 for Engineering, Differential Equations and Numerics, and Calculus of Variations. He has led workshops in India, Italy, and the U.S., focusing on numerical methods and control theory.
