Thomas’ research interests are design, implementation and analysis of numerical methods and algorithms for nonstationary, nonlinear, coupled PDE systems and variational inequalities within the fields for computational fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, fluid-structure interaction, thermoporoelasticity, and crack propagation problems in elasticity and poroelasticity. Therein, he is specifically interested in a posteriori error estimation, adaptive methods such as local mesh adaptivity with a particular emphasis on goal-oriented techniques using adjoints, and parallel high performance computing. He also works on numerical algorithms for gradient-based optimization for coupled problems.

With regard to Thomas’ research activities please refer to:

He is also an engaged academics and obtained several third party fundings, currently for instance within the German excellence cluster PhoenixD, and he is specifically interested in international exchange, research and teaching.
