Bernard Haasdonk is a Professor at the University of Stuttgart, affiliated with the Institute of Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulation (IANS), part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. His research focuses on model reduction techniques for parametrized partial differential equations (PDEs), kernel-based methods, numerical analysis, and machine learning applications in scientific computing. He leads a research group in numerical mathematics and has contributed to software tools like RBMatlab and KerMor. Affiliations: Institute of Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulation, University of Stuttgart Roles: Academic Researcher, Software Developer, Grant Principal Investigator His work bridges numerical simulation, machine learning, and reduced basis methods, addressing challenges in optimal control, fluid dynamics, and biomechanics. Haasdonk has held multiple funded projects, including those on kernel methods for model reduction and certified RB-ML-ROM surrogate models. Research Interests: Model reduction for PDEs, kernel methods, greedy algorithms, numerical analysis, optimal control, and applications in fluid dynamics and porous media. He emphasizes structure-preserving methods for Hamiltonian systems and data-driven approaches for surrogate modeling. Publications: Over 200 articles in journals like SIAM, BIT Numerical Mathematics, and Physica D, focusing on convergence analysis, kernel-based approximation, and reduced-order modeling. Recent trends include adaptive greedy algorithms, symplectic model reduction, and energy-conserving surrogates. Awards: IEEE PerCom 2017 Best Paper Award, Teaching Excellence Awards (2012-2017), and early-career research grants. Grants: DFG-funded projects on model reduction, SimTech Cluster contributions, and collaborations on fuel cells and biomechanics. Teams: Leads the Numerical Mathematics Research Group at IANS, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams on projects like MORCOS (Model Order Reduction of Coupled Systems) and KerMor (Kernel Methods for Model Reduction).
