Peter Hornung

Peter Hornung is a Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics, TU Dresden. His research lies at the intersection of Calculus of Variations, Partial Differential Equations, and Nonlinear Elasticity, with a focus on mathematical modeling of thin elastic structures, isometric immersions, and homogenization.

• Current Role: Professorship for Partial Differential Equations, TU Dresden
• Organized Workshops: Calculus of Variations and PDE Day (2019), Applied Analysis Day (2018)

His work explores the geometric and analytical properties of elastic sheets and shells, including stability analysis, singularities in deformations, and stochastic homogenization. Publications span journals like J. Elasticity, SIAM J. Math. Anal., and Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations.

Hornung collaborates with researchers such as L. Freddi, M. G. Mora, R. Paroni, and R. Moser. For inquiries, contact his secretary: Esther Parisius-Liebstein at esther.parisius-liebstein@tu-dresden.de.
