Stefan Sparks
Stefan Funken (born February 16, 1966 in Schiefbahn , now Willich ) is a German mathematician.
Career
Funken did an apprenticeship as a power plant electronics technician at RWE from 1982 to 1986, then from 1986 to 1988 Abitur via the second educational path at the Friedrich-Spee-Kolleg in Neuss.
Funken studied mathematics from 1988 in London and Hanover, where he received his doctorate in 1996 with Ernst P. Stephan with the dissertation "Fast solution methods for FEM-BEM coupling equations". Subsequently, Funken worked as a scientific assistant to Carsten Carstensen at the University of Kiel and the Humboldt University in Berlin . In the years 2000–2002 he took on substitute professorships for mathematics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and the Friedrich Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg . This was followed by his habilitation in 2002 at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Kiel on "Contributions to a posteriori error estimation in the numerical treatment of elliptic partial differential equations". He also accepted a position as a support and product manager at FEMLAB (now COMSOL Multiphysics ) in 2002 , followed by a lecturer position at Brunel University in London.
Funken works in the field of numerical mathematics and has made scientific research contributions in the field of finite elements, boundary elements and efficient realizations and the like. a. Matlab , Python and C ++ presented.
Since 2005, Funken has been Professor of Numerical Analysis at the Institute for Numerical Mathematics at the University of Ulm , where he is Deputy Head. His research focus is on the development and analysis of discretization methods for systems of partial differential and integral equations.
Stefan Funken is married and has four children.
