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

News:
- The semester at TU Clausthal started (April 2025).
- Our paper " Locally energy-stable finite element schemes for incompressible flow problems: Design and analysis for equal-order interpolations" was accepted and published in Computer and Fluids. It is open source and can be found here.
-
From March 3rd to 17th, I visited Davide Torlo in Rome, where I also gave a talk at La Sapienza University.
- Three positions open inside my working group. The announcements can be found here.
- The paper "Generalized upwind summation-by-parts operators and their application to nodal discontinuous Galerkin methods" has been accepted in JCP (14.2.2025). It can be found here.
