Prof. Thomas Huckle is a Professor of Scientific Computing at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology and the Department of Computer Science. His research focuses on numerical linear algebra, parallel computing, and their applications in physics and computer science. Key interests include solving linear problems on parallel architectures, image processing, multigrid methods, preconditioning, and tensor-based high-dimensional problem approximation. Education: Studied mathematics and physics at the University of Würzburg (diploma in mathematics, 1985 PhD, 1991 habilitation). Professional History: DFG-funded research at Stanford University (1993–1994), appointed to TUM in 1995, and member of the Mathematics Department since 1997. Research Interests: Prof. Huckle’s work spans numerical methods for large-scale systems, including structured matrices, regularization techniques, and quantum computing applications. He develops algorithms for parallel computing environments and contributes to software tools like ELPA for eigenvalue problems. Grants and Labs: Engaged in projects such as the ELPA-AEO eigensolver and ESSEX-II initiatives. Active in the SCCS (Scientific Computing and Computational Science) group at TUM, focusing on high-performance computing and numerical methods.
