Research interests

Current topics

Inverse Problems:

  • DFG-project "Inclusion Reconstruction with Monotonicity-based Methods for the Elasto-oscillatory Wave Equation"
  • Development of monotonicity-based methods to solve an inverse problem of linear elasticity (time-independent), especially standard and linearized monotonicity tests as well as monotonicity-based regularization (minimization problem) for the detection and reconstruction of inclusions in elastic bodies.
  • Simulations based on artificial and experimental data (laboratory experiment).

Further topics

  • Numerical Analysis:
    Stable boundary integral formulation of the acoustic wave equation as a transmission problem with mixed boundary conditions. 
    Stable numerical coupling of interior and exterior problems for the elastic and thermoelastic wave equation (by use of finite elements and leapfrog coupled with boundary elements and convolution quadrature) as well as convergence and error analysis.
     
  • Numerical Simulation:
    Implementation and numerical experiments of FEM-BEM coupling and time discretizations for the elastodynamic wave equation.
     
  • Multiscale Analysis:
    Multiscale decomposition based on physically motivated wavelets for the Laplace, Helmholtz and elastic wave equation with numerical experiments.

My research focus is on numerical methods applied to wave equations, with a focus on the elastic case: from wave propagation to postprocessing and the inverse problem. My goal is on the one hand to develop and analyze numerical methods and on the other hand to implement them.
