Peter Markowich

Peter Alexander Markowich (born December 16, 1956 in Vienna ) is an Austrian mathematician . He is Professor of Applied Analysis at the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna and Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cambridge University .

His specialty is the analysis of partial differential equations , whereby his work is received in various applied areas in engineering and natural sciences , from quantum mechanics to image processing .

Markowich studied at the Technical University of Vienna , where he received his doctorate in 1980 under Richard Weiss. He then held academic positions at the universities of Wisconsin-Madison , Texas-Austin , the École polytechnique in Paris, the Technical University of Berlin , Purdue University and the Johannes Kepler University in Linz .

In 2000 he won the Wittgenstein Prize of the FWF and in 2007 the Wolfson Merit Award of the Royal Society . In 2008 he was honored as an "Investigator" by the Saudi Arabian top university King Abdullah University for Science and Technology (KAUST) .

His doctoral students include Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb and Ansgar Jüngel .
