Thomas Eiter

Dr. Thomas Eiter is a Young Investigator in the Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1114 at Freie Universität Berlin and a member of the Partial Differential Equations research group at the Weierstrass Institute of Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS). He holds a PhD from Technical University of Darmstadt (2020), focusing on existence and spatial decay of periodic Navier-Stokes flows in exterior domains. His research emphasizes mathematical analysis of PDEs motivated by fluid mechanics, including existence of solutions, time-periodicity, unbounded domains, and asymptotic behavior.

Teaching highlights include courses such as 'Introduction to Mathematical Modeling with PDEs' at Freie Universität Berlin and 'Harmonic Analysis' at University of Kassel. He has organized workshops like the 2025 'Mathematical Analysis of Fluid Flows by Variational Methods' at WIAS. Current projects include the SPP 2410 initiative on energy-variational solutions for hyperbolic conservation laws.

His work bridges theoretical PDE analysis with applications in continuum mechanics, with contributions to viscous flow dynamics, Navier-Stokes equations, and material models. He actively participates in academic leadership through seminar organization and conference minisymposia on fluid mechanics and nonlinear analysis.
