In February 2026 the new Weierstrass Group "Energy-variational Methods for innovative Materials” of Robert Lasarzik was initiated. Congratulations!
The aim of the new Weierstrass Group is
- use the energy-variational framework to analyze highly nonlinear coupled partial differential equations;
- consider reduced models and hierarchies, derive quantitative error estimates for these reductions;
- implement numerical simulation and optimization tools leading to optimal process or material parameters and designs.
