Dr. Anastasia MOLCHANOVA completed her Ph.D. in December 2016 at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics in Russia. Since then, she has conducted research at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Novosibirsk State University (Russia), the University of Vienna, and TU Wien (Austria). Her research focuses on geometrical and functional analysis, calculus of variations, PDEs, and their applications in materials science. From 2019 to 2021, she led an FWF Lise Meitner grant at the University of Vienna and TU Wien, and from 2021 to 2024, she was the PI of her own Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND REWIRE project at the University of Vienna. In November 2023, her Elise Richter project titled Quasiconformal Elasticity: Global and Local Behavior of Deformations was approved for funding by FWF. In September 2024, Anastasia joined ASC as a Project Leader and Elise Richter Fellow.

December has started and Christmas is just around the corner. We invite you to get to know our institute's research a little better. Every day until the 24th December we will introduce you to one of our projects. Let's see which one is hidden behind door number one of the advent calendar.

Today we open the second door of our calendar. We are happy to present our next project...

Curious about our next project behind door number 3?

Waiting behind door number 4 is the next ASC project.

On today's feast day for Saint Barbara we would also like to propose a little project for which you don't need any mathematical knowledge: Put a twig of a cherry tree into warm water. If it blossoms before christmas it will bring you extra luck for the New Year. Our Pro-Tip: Popping the twig into the freezer two days before might increase your chances.

Greeting from Saint Nicholas' helper! Don't worry, you won't find a piece of coal behind door number 5. We want to introduce the next project to you in more detail.

Now let's open door number 6. Which project has Saint Nicholas left for us to look into today

"Oh the weather outside is frightful..."

Let's hurry inside and see which project is awaits us behind door number 7.

Today we light the second candle on the advent wreath. The next project is awaiting, let's open door number 8.

Oh my, it's Monday again. The weekend felt like it was way too short. Have you found it just as challenging to get out of bed today? Let's look behind door number 9 to see what challenges the research team are facing in their project.

Welcome to the Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing (ASC) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Geoinformation of TU Wien!

Our institute currently comprises 19 research groups with more than 60 scientific staff members. In addition, more than 50 student assistants are employed to run the tutorial groups of our courses.

We actively conduct mathematical research in pure and applied mathematics with currently around 25 ongoing research projects. Most of our research topics are from the areas of Computational Science and Engineering as well as Quantum Physics and Quantum Technologies at TU Wien, our focus of attention being the further development of applied mathematics.

With more than 150 courses per academic year, we contribute a large part to the excellent mathematics education at TU Wien. We are pleased that our students can benefit from our outstanding teaching and pursue successful careers in industry or academia.

Finally, members of the institute actively participate in the popular science initiative TUForMath - Forum Mathematik an der TU Wien, opens an external URL in a new window. In addition to popular science evening lectures on current, interesting and entertaining topics related to mathematics, TUForMath offers numerous workshops for school classes, where pupils are shown in a playful way the influence of mathematics on our daily lives, on science and technology, art and culture as well as society and economy. All TUForMath offers are free of charge!

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

With best regards,
Prof. Dirk PRAETORIUS
