Subjects of Research

special functions of mathematical (geo)physics (in particular orthogonal polynomials, (scalar, vectorial, tensorial) spherical harmonics, Bessel and Hankel functions etc.)
partial differential equations (potential theory, elasticity, electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, refraction)
constructive approximation (in particular radial basis functions, finite elements, splines, wavelets etc.), integral transforms
numerical methods ("scientific computing", particularly of georelevant problems in potential theory, elasticity and electromagnetic theory)
inverse problems in geophysics, geodesy and satellite technology (e.g., geomagnetics, gravimetry, satellite to satellite tracking, satellite gradiometry etc.)
mathematics in industry: transfer of mathematical know how into (geo)practice, in particular in geothermal research
