Othmar Koch

Othmar Koch is a Professor at TU Wien's Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing, part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Geoinformation. His research focuses on numerical analysis, computational methods for differential equations, and quantum mechanics simulations. He has contributed to adaptive integrators, exponential time propagation methods, and software development for boundary value problems (e.g., bvpsuite2.0).

Education and affiliations: Primary affiliation is TU Wien's Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing. Collaborations include projects on solar cell modeling, Bose-Einstein condensates, and nonlinear wave equations.

Research interests emphasize numerical stability, adaptive algorithms, and computational techniques for stiff equations and quantum systems. His work bridges theoretical analysis with practical software tools for solving complex mathematical models.

Key contributions include adaptive exponential integrators, Magnus-type methods for quantum systems, and continuation methods for parameter-dependent boundary value problems.

He has advised students on topics like collocation methods (Merlin Fallahpour), singular BVPs (Amir Saboor Bagherzadeh), and semi-infinite interval eigenvalue problems (Christa Simon). The Network Lab may be associated with his research activities.
