We present our new Senior Scientist

Congratulations to Dr. Karl HOLLAUS on his new position as a Senior Scientist!

Portrait of Karl Hollaus

Dr. Karl HOLLAUS received his doctorate from Graz University of Technology in 2001 and was subsequently employed there as a project assistant. From 2009 to 2010 he was a research assistant at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen RWTH Aachen, Germany, working with Prof. SCHÖBERL. Since 2010 he is a postdoc at the TU Wien in the research group Computational Mathematics in Engineering of Prof. SCHÖBERL.

His research interest is computational electromagnetics, in particular the finite element method for modeling electromagnetic field problems. So far, he has been able to acquire three FWF Principal Investigator Projects and several research projects and thus set up a small research group of his own. Such additional funds allowed us to create and finance this new position. We are pleased that he will support us as a Senior Scientist in research and teaching and wish him all the best for his new tasks!

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
