Andreas Münch

Biography

  Andreas Muench is an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at University of Oxford. He teach undergraduates in Mathematics in particular in the applied topics. Before his move to the UK he was awarded a Heisenberg Fellowship and a Habilitation Fellowship by the German Research Foundation. He is  an alumnus of the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes.

Research Interest

  Andreas Muench's research combines mathematical modelling with asymptotic as well as numerical methods, such as spectral methods, finite elements and finite differences. He also work on stability analysis and solutions of conservation laws associated with high-order partial differential equations. His fields of application cover problems in fluid and solid mechanics, in particular many coating problems ranging from Marangoni driven flows to problems in nano- and micro-fluidics, and from problems with non-Newtonian rheology to the self-assembly of solid nano-structured thin films.  Through his long-term industrial contracts he have also worked on modelling and the numerical simulation of flows of charged particles in an ionic carrier liquid.
