Helmut Neunzert (2010)

Helmut Neunzert (born August 2, 1936 in Munich ) is a German mathematician who deals with applied mathematics ( technomathematics ) and primarily contributed to the development of German industrial mathematics .

Life

Neunzert studied mathematics and physics (teaching post) at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich from 1954 to 1959 . After a year of legal clerkship in Munich-Pasing and Miesbach, he worked at Forschungszentrum Jülich from 1960 to 1972 , temporarily as deputy head of the Central Institute for Applied Mathematics. His subject area was mainly numerical problems in nuclear engineering and plasma physics. In 1965 he received his doctorate under Claus Müller at RWTH Aachen University , where he also completed his habilitation in 1971 and was professor of applied mathematics from 1972. From 1974 he held a "professorship for the mathematical foundations of physics and technology" at the University of Kaiserslauterninside. Despite two external calls, he stayed there until his retirement in 2004. In 1996 he became head of the newly founded Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM , which in 2001 was the first mathematical institute to join the Fraunhofer Society. Neunzert was responsible for international relations at this institute, especially with Sweden and India. He is on the board of the Fraunhofer-Chalmers Center in Gothenburg . Neunzert is married, has 2 sons and 5 grandchildren.

Act

Until about 1996 Neunzert mainly worked on equations of statistical mechanics such as B. the Vlasov and the Boltzmann equations . Numerical methods became increasingly important; so, driven by the European space project HERMES , particle methods came to the fore. Most of Neunzert's 40 PhD students have PhDs in this field. From 1996, other industrial mathematics topics predominated, such as B. Image processing or industrial flows. Neunzert made a great effort to promote European cooperation, and was a co-founder of the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) and the Fraunhofer Chalmers Center in Gothenburg. He was also committed to students and mathematicians from European and non-European countries. B. in the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste (Italy) and in India as one of the founders of the Indian Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ISIAM) and at the IIT Madras in Chennai (India). From 2008 to 2012 he was one of the two technology ambassadors for the Kaiserslautern region. In 2016 he retired to Prien am Chiemsee.
