Engineering Computing

Since our society collects ever more data, and computers get ever better computational speed, understanding the basis for computations is ever more important. One of the main goals for our group is to study, develop and apply mathematical computational tools and methods to solve and study problems from several engineering disciplines.

The engineering computing research group works in the interface between computational mathematics, data science, computer science and engineering. Our main research activities, covering several subjects in applied and computational mathematics, are complementary and have several themes in common. More precisely, our fields of research include various topics from

  • numerical analysis,
  • scientific computing,
  • stochastic simulations
  • multi-scale methods and simulations,
  • applications of numerical methods,
  • image processing,
  • parameter estimation,
  • efficient numerical methods,
  • control theory and optimization,
  • mathematical and numerical regularization techniques,
  • mathematical homogenization

The developed computational methods and mathematical tools find manifold applications e.g., in

  • image and signal processing,
  • computational medicine and biomedical engineering,
  • economy and finance,
  • fish migration and fish stock management,
  • domain decomposition,
  • porous media flow,
  • thermal energy storage,
  • nanomaterials,
  • mobile robot control,
  • optimizing offshore wind energy concepts

As a group, we are responsible for the EC pillar of the Ph.D. program in Computer Science. This includes teaching Ph.D. courses and supervising several Ph.D. students. We are also involved in the Master program in ICT Engineering, where we offer courses and supervise Master students.
