My research primarily focuses on the derivation and (numerical) analysis of thermodynamically consistent models for complex flow problems. Thereby, I am in particular interested in
- nonlinear (multi-scale) partial differential equations,
- homogenization of multiphase flow,
- (degenerate) fourth order parabolic equations,
- stochastic partial differential equations.
I am also one of the main developers of the software package EconDrop.
