Projects in the field of education
Research
During my time as a research assistant at the Technical University of Munich, I conducted research into model order reduction using Krylov subspace methods, which can be used to efficiently simplify even very large models to a manageable level of complexity. I published the key results (including the derivation of rigorous error bounds and methods for automating the process) in my doctoral thesis.
At the Technical University of Hanover (THU), my main interest lies in the modelling, simulation and control of physiological and medical technology systems.
