Thomas Bendokat

Dr. Thomas Bendokat is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, Germany. He specializes in computational methods for systems and control theory, with a focus on geometric approaches to dynamical systems and manifold structures.

• Research Interests: Hamiltonian systems, symplectic geometry, Grassmann and Stiefel manifolds, model reduction, geometric optimization, and data-driven identification of nonlinear systems.
• Contact: Email: bendokat@mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de

His work bridges theoretical mathematics with practical applications in gas network modeling, computer vision, and structure-preserving computational methods. He has contributed to open-source software like phgasnets for port-Hamiltonian system simulations.
