About

I am a scientist in the Numerical Methods Division at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, doing research at the intersection of numerical analysis, differential geometry and mathematical physics.
My work concerns the development of structure-preserving discretisation methods for problems from fluid dynamics and plasma physics. The guiding principle is to take advantage of geometric properties of the equations in order to derive accurate and robust numerical schemes. The resulting geometric integrators often represent the underlying physics more realistically than standard methods in addition to exhibiting good stability properties. In recent years I apply these ideas to model order reduction and scientific machine learning.
I also have a strong interest in Research Software Engineering and Scientific Computing with Julia. I am lead author of various Julia packages for Geometric Numerical Integration and Reduced Complexity Modelling.
