Tilo Arens

Dr. Tilo Arens is a Lecturer at the Institute for Applied and Numerical Mathematics, part of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). His research focuses on numerical methods for scattering problems, particularly involving electromagnetic waves, chiral scatterers, and inverse scattering problems. He actively contributes to the Working Group 4: Inverse Problems and collaborates on projects within the CRC 1173 Wave Phenomena.

His teaching portfolio includes courses such as Higher Mathematics II for engineering disciplines, Optimization Theory, and Scattering Theory. He also supervises bachelor’s and master’s theses on topics like Approximation of rotation-minimizing frames using B-spline curves and Numerical methods for integral equations.

Dr. Arens has authored numerous publications on inverse scattering, integral equations, and computational methods. Notable works include studies on monotonicity-based shape reconstruction, high-order numerical methods for bi-periodic structures, and electromagnetic chirality measurement. His research intersects with applied mathematics, physics, and computational science.

He previously collaborated on a student seminar with Heisenberg-Gymnasium Karlsruhe to bridge university and secondary education in mathematics. His habilitation (2010) and PhD (2000) are in electromagnetic and elastic wave scattering, respectively.
