• 

  Prof. Dr. Nicolas R. Gauger received his Master in Mathematics (Dipl.-Math.) from Leibniz University of Hanover in 1998, and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (Dr.rer.nat.) from Braunschweig University of Technology in 2003. From 1998 to 2010 he was Research Scientist in the field of Numerical Methods for Aerodynamics at German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Braunschweig. Furthermore, he was appointed as Assistant Professor (Jun.-Prof., W1) for Applied Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics of the Humboldt University Berlin from 2005 to 2010. In addition, he was Member of the DFG Research Center MATHEON (Mathematics for Key Technologies) in Berlin from 2006 to 2010. Then, from 2010 to 2014, he was Associate Professor (W2) for Computational Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics and the Center for Computational Engineering Science (CCES) at RWTH Aachen University. Furthermore, from March to August 2014, he was Visiting Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, USA. Since September 2014 he is now Chairholder for Scientific Computing at University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), where he is Full Professor (W3) at the Department of Mathematics as well as Department of Computer Science. Additionally, since February 2015, he is Director of the Computing Center (RHRZ) at RPTU.
