Werner Bauer

Dr. Werner Bauer is a Lecturer in Mathematics at the University of Surrey, affiliated with the Mathematics at the Interface Group within the School of Mathematics and Physics. His research focuses on numerical analysis and scientific computing, particularly in the Mathematics of Planet Earth. Key areas include parallel-in-time methods for oscillatory PDEs, structure-preserving discretizations for fluid dynamics, stochastic flow models for ensemble prediction, and geometric formulations of fluid and magnetohydrodynamic systems. He also explores finite difference and finite element methods, with prior work on grid adaptation in weather and climate models.

His research interests span numerical methods for geophysical flows, stochastic modeling of oceanic and atmospheric dynamics, and energy-conserving computational frameworks. Bauer’s recent work emphasizes uncertainty quantification, ensemble forecasting, and the development of compatible finite element schemes to ensure physical conservation laws in simulations.

Bauer’s publications highlight advancements in structure-preserving discretizations, stochastic parameterization of mesoscale eddies, and variational integrators for geophysical equations. His work bridges applied mathematics and computational science with applications in climate modeling and environmental fluid dynamics.
