BMS alumni members Friederike Hellwig and Dietmar Gallistl were recently recognized for their outstanding academic achievements by GAMM (Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik / International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics).
GAMM was founded in 1922 by Ludwig Prandtl and Richard von Mises to promote scientific development in all areas of applied mathematics and mechanics. The association fosters international cooperation and currently comprises over 1500 members.
Friederike was awarded one of four Dr. Klaus Körper Prizes for excellent dissertations in applied mathematics and mechanics for her PhD thesis on "Adaptive Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin Finite-Element-Methods". Currently, she is a researcher at the Humboldt University Berlin (HU) and is also involved with a MATHEON-associated German Research Foundation Priority Programme (DFG SPP 1748). Her award includes prize money in the sum of 250 euros.
Dietmar received one of two Richard von Mises Prizes for scientific achievement in the field of applied mathematics and mechanics for his outstanding work on the "discretization of elliptic problems of higher order". He is currently an assistant professor in the group Mathematics of Computational Science at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. His award includes prize money in the sum of 1000 euros.
Both Dietmar and Friederike did their doctoral studies under the supervision of BMS faculty member Prof. Dr. Carsten Carstensen and graduated from the HU in 2014 and 2018, respectively.
Congratulations Friederike und Dietmar!
