We are always looking for motivated students who are interested in working on their thesis with us. If you are passionate about mathematics, engineering problems and have a flair for programming, have a look at the research that takes place at our chair. If we have kindled your interest, contact our secretary or your lecturer directly.
The sub-project proposals for the inaugural funding period of the DFG Priority Program 2489 were presented to the panel of reviewers in Bochum. As a member of the program committee, Daniel Balzani hosted the event, collaborating with the DFG. The event commenced with a presentation by program spokesperson Markus Kästner (TU Dresden), who elucidated the content and conceptual framework of the SPP.

The LKM members involved in the Ferrite.jl development, namely Maximilian Köhler, Abdulaziz Mohamed and Dennis Ogiermann, have given talks on this years FerriteCon at Chalmers University of Technology in Götheborg. Their presentations cover latest development updates on adaptive mesh refinement, local time stepping and efficient solver technology.
This year, the LKM was again represented at the CIM2 Symposium with a presentation by Dennis Ogiermann. He shared findings from simulation models on the effects of residual stresses in the left ventricle. The Thunderbolt.jl software framework developed at the chair was used for the studies.
