معرفی
PD Dr. Thorsten Hüls is a Privatdozent at the University of Bielefeld's Faculty of Mathematics, Department of Mathematics. His office is located at V3-241 with contact information huels@math.uni-bielefeld.de and +49 521 106 4785. He has maintained active teaching responsibilities from Winter semester 2003/2004 through the upcoming Winter semester 2025/2026.
Dr. Hüls' research specializes in numerical mathematics and dynamical systems, with particular expertise in differential and difference equations, non-autonomous and non-invertible dynamics, and hyperbolic structures. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with computational approaches, developing algorithms for analyzing complex dynamical behavior with applications in biological models and economic systems.
Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on nonautonomous dynamical systems. His most significant contributions involve angular values theory, fiber bundles computation, and homoclinic structures, often in collaboration with Wolf-Jürgen Beyn. His publications appear in top journals including SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems and Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems.
- Goldener Wanderwischer award (Summer semester 2013) for outstanding teaching in the 'Service' area
- Best paper award for 'Homoclinic trajectories of non-autonomous maps' (2011)
- Goldener Wanderwischer award (Winter semesters 2010/11 and 2011/12) for outstanding mathematics teaching
- Best paper award for 'On r-periodic orbits of k-periodic maps' (2008)
Dr. Hüls has supervised numerous students including Ingo Könemann, Alina Giord, Andre Schenke, and Christina Göpfert. His research group has developed significant educational tools through the 're.math' project, which visualizes linear algebra and analysis concepts, and the 'NumLab' project containing MATLAB programs demonstrating numerical algorithms. These projects demonstrate his commitment to both theoretical research and practical educational applications in mathematics.
