Mathematical Modelling in the Engineering Sciences

Within this field of research, top-class scientists engage in the crosslinking between modeling, simulation and engineering. The research topic consists of three overlapping foci:

Mathematics

Mathematics and computer science represent a technology that is essential to engineers and natural scientists. Progress in relevant fields is therefore often dependent from computational mathematical modeling. Due to its focus on mathematical applications in engineering, Kaiserslautern attains a unique position.
