Group

This page contains information on current and former members of the group, as well as bachelor, master, and semester projects.

The group works on problems in analysis arising from kinetic theory, plasma physics, statistical mechanics, mathematical physics, and nonlinear PDEs. More information on the research directions can be found on the page Research.
