from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst-Peter Stephan (born May 18, 1947 in Birkenau im Odenwald) is a German mathematician and university professor. He is a professor at the Leibniz University in Hanover .

Life

Stephan studied mathematics and physics in Darmstadt. In 1975 he received his doctorate on "Difference approximations of pseudo-differential operators". He was a research assistant in Darmstadt, where he completed his habilitation in 1984 on "Boundary integral equations for mixed boundary value problems, screen and transmission problems in ". From 1983 to 1989 he was a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, USA. In 1989 he was offered a position at Leibniz Universität Hannover, where he worked until his retirement in autumn 2015.

Stephan works in the field of numerical mathematics and has pioneering scientific research contributions in the field of finite elements and boundary elements for the description of acoustic, electromagnetic and mechanical phenomena. His research on boundary element methods received the Frank Rizzo Award from the International Association for Boundary Element Methods in 2018.

From 2008 to 2015 he was a member of the Center for Quantum Engineering and Space-Time Research ( QUEST ).
