Richard Höfer

Richard Höfer is a Professor of Analysis and Numerics of Partial Differential Equations at the University of Regensburg. His research focuses on fluid mechanics, multi-particle systems, and mathematical modeling of suspensions. He holds a tenure-track position and emphasizes the role of intuition in mathematical problem-solving.

Education & Career:

• Studied in Bonn
• Postdoctoral research in Bordeaux and Paris (France)
• Specialized in partial differential equations and fluid dynamics

Research Interests: He investigates macroscopic behavior of particle systems in liquids/gases, aiming to bridge gaps between theoretical models and real-world applications like medical nanotechnology. His work addresses challenges in computational scalability and experimental limitations.

Teaching & Philosophy: Prefers university-level teaching due to students' intrinsic motivation. Enjoys collaborative problem-solving and maintains a balanced approach to academia and personal life.

Lifestyle: Enjoys hiking in Bavaria's natural landscapes, plays piano (Chopin), runs half-marathons, and reads fiction by authors like John Grisham.
