Philipp Bringmann

Philipp Bringmann is a Researcher at the Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing (E 101) at TU Wien, Austria. His work focuses on numerical methods for partial differential equations (PDEs), with specializations in adaptive finite element methods (FEM), least-squares formulations, and discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin techniques. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2020) and has held postdoctoral positions at both TU Wien and Humboldt-Universität.
