Research

Postdoc position at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, The University of Texas at Austin, USA, with Prof. Omar Ghattas since May 2006.

• Inverse and parameter estimation problems in seismic wave propagation
• Physics-based observation and regularization for inverse problems

Postdoc position at the Institut für Geometrie und Praktische Mathematik, RWTH Aachen, with Prof. Wolfgang Dahmen during April 2006.

Member of the Institut für Numerische Simulation, Universität Bonn until March 2006.

I have completed my PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) under the supervision of Prof. Angela Kunoth on December 12, 2005.

• Wavelet methods for control problems with elliptic PDE constraints (overview)
• Construction and conditioning of wavelet bases on the interval
• Visualisation of Scientific Data (A, B)
• Numerical methods for inverse problems in atomic nanofabrication (overview)

Further areas of personal interest include 3D computer graphics in general and OpenGL and GTK+ programming under Linux.
