Current Group Member

Dr. Georg Müller

Deputy Group Leader

I have been the deputy group leader and a postdoctoral researcher at the Scientific Computing and Optimization group at the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing of Heidelberg University since September 2021.

You can find my CV here.

Research Interests

My research mainly focuses on

  • nonsmooth optimization
  • optimal control of PDEs
  • multiobjective optimization
  • (nonlinear) preconditioning
