Philipp Öffner
PD Dr. rer. nat.
I currently hold a position as an interim professor in numerical analysis at TU Clauthal. Prior to joining TU Clausthal, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, the University of Zurich and the Technical University of Brunswick.
My research primarily revolves around the examination and advancement of numerical techniques applicable to ordinary and partial differential equations, with a specific focus on hyperbolic conservation/balance laws. I dedicate my efforts to exploring stability characteristics, the maintenance of physical constraints, and the approximation and convergence properties of these methods. To support my theoretical findings, I consistently complement them with numerical simulations.
