Philipp Öffner

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. 



I'm a full professor of numerical analysis at TU Clausthal. Before that, I was a postdoc at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, the University of Zurich, and TU Braunschweig.
My research focuses on developing and analyzing numerical methods for ordinary and partial differential equations, in particularly for hyperbolic conservation and  balance laws. I’m especially interested in stability questions, the construction of structure preserving schemes, and convergence properties of high-order methods, which I investigate through analytically  and numerical simulations.




Research Interests


  • Numerical methods for compressible flows
  • Time integration schemes 
  • Uncertainty Quantification 
  • Approximation theory
  • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

    News:


    • Paper submitted about thin-film flows.
    • Short trip to Bern for a panel meeting, it was quite interesting. 
    • My paper together with Remi Abgrall and Yongle Liu has been accepted in Journal of Scientific Computing. 
    • I will move the main webpage to the group webpage at TU Clausthal in October 2026. The content here will only contain the basic information in the future.
