Philip Lederer

Prof. Philip Lederer is a Professor of Numerical Analysis at the University of Hamburg’s Department of Mathematics. He holds a position within the Applied Mathematics (AM) group under the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Natural Sciences. His research focuses on advanced numerical methods for partial differential equations, particularly finite element methods for fluid dynamics and elasticity problems.

His work emphasizes pressure-robust discretizations, divergence-free schemes, and high-order methods for incompressible flows. Key contributions include hybrid discontinuous Galerkin methods, stress-based formulations for Stokes equations, and error estimation techniques. He collaborates on projects like the FWF-funded initiative P35931, exploring computational methods for poroelasticity and biomechanics.

Prof. Lederer frequently presents at international conferences such as ENUMATH, ICIAM, and the European Finite Element Fair. His publications span topics from turbulence simulation to multiphase flow dynamics and photonic crystal modeling. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his active research and peer-reviewed contributions highlight his expertise in computational mathematics.

He advises on FWF-funded projects and collaborates with institutions like Aalto University, TU Wien, and the Weierstrass Institute. His teaching includes advanced numerical analysis courses, and his lab focuses on developing robust, high-fidelity computational tools for engineering and scientific applications.
