Griewank studied after graduating from high school in 1968 in Hofgeismar at the University of Clausthal and the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg with a diploma in 1976 at Lutz Eichner (Affine linear machines) and at the University of Canberra with the master's degree in 1977 and his doctorate in 1980 at Richard P. Brent (Analysis and Modification of Newton's Method at Singularities). He was a post-doctoral student with Michael JD Powell at Cambridge University . In 1982 he became Assistant Professor and 1986 Associate Professor (with "tenure") at the Southern Methodist University in Dallas and from 1987 he was a mathematician at the Argonne National Laboratory , from 1992 as a Senior Mathematician. He initially dealt with quasi-Newton methods and from 1987 on at the Argonne Laboratory with automatic differentiation. In 1988 he wrote the ADOL-C program for this purpose. In 1998/98 he was at INRIA Sophia Antipolis in Antibes . In 2001 Griewank received a Max Planck Research Prize for Mathematics and Computer Science.

In 1993 Griewank became professor and director of the Institute for Scientific Computing at the TU Dresden . From 2003 to 2015 he was professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin and from 2008 director of the Institute for Mathematics.

Since his retirement he has been involved in setting up the Technical University of Yachay in Ecuador and has been dean of the mathematics faculty since May 2015.
