Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Reichel is a faculty member at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) , affiliated with the Department of Mathematics and leading the Workgroup Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations . He serves as deputy speaker of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1173 "Wave Phenomena: Analysis and Numerics", and is a speaker for the KIT-Center MathSEE "Mathematics in Sciences, Engineering, and Economics". His research focuses on nonlinear partial differential equations, mathematical modeling, and numerical analysis of wave phenomena. His workgroup includes postdocs, doctoral researchers, and master students, and he collaborates with colleagues like Thomas Bartsch, Bernd Kawohl, Michael Plum, Guido Sweers, and Tobias Weth. Regular events organized by Prof. Reichel include the Karlsruhe PDE-Seminar and annual Nonlinear PDE Days summer/winter schools. He has taught courses such as Rand- und Eigenwertprobleme, Functional Analysis, and Analysis of PDEs across multiple semesters. Scientific publications reveal a focus on nonlinear wave equations (e.g., Maxwell's, Klein-Gordon, Lugiato-Lefever), soliton dynamics, frequency comb generation, and symmetry properties in elliptic PDEs. Articles often address existence proofs, stability analysis, and numerical methods for wave phenomena in periodic media and nonlinear optics. Collaborative work spans institutions like MacMaster University, University of Stuttgart, and University of Connecticut.
