Course Focus
For 36 months, the PhD students will pursue their research supervised by a professor of the University of Kaiserslautern. In general, supervisor and student determine the topic of the PhD thesis in cooperation with a company, often via the “Fraunhofer-Institute for Industrial Mathematics” (ITWM). Participants of the MIC programme apply modern mathematical theories (partial differential equations, stochastics, singularity theory, etc.) to model technological, economic and ecological problems. Computer-oriented numerical methods (FEM, optimisation, statistics, etc.) are used to simulate processes and evaluate the models. Good programming skills are a must. Possible research areas are: Applied Mathematical Statistics Computer Algebra and Singularity Theory Differential Equations: Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing Geomathematics Mathematical Control Theory Optimisation Stochastic Control and Financial Mathematics
Target Group
Mathematicians with interest in the application of theoretical results to real world problems
