Alexander Heinlein is assistant professor in the Numerical Analysis group of the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM), Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics & Computer Science (EEMCS), at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
His main research areas are numerical methods for partial differential equations and scientific computing, in particular, solvers and discretizations based on domain decomposition and multiscale approaches. He is interested in high-performance computing (HPC) and solving challenging problems involving, e.g., complex geometries, highly heterogeneous coefficient functions, or the coupling of multiple physics. More recently, Alexander also started focusing on the combination of scientific computing and machine learning, a new research area also known as scientific machine learning (SciML). Generally, his work includes the development of new methods and their theoretical foundation as well as their implementation on current computer architectures (CPUs, GPUs) and application to real world problems.
