Kerstin Lux-Gottschalk

I joined the Eindhoven University of Technology in July 2023 as an assistant professor in the group of Computational Science. I am originally from Germany and lived in Munich for the last three years. I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich in the Multiscale and Stochastic Dynamics group. I studied Business Mathematics at the University of Mannheim and did my PhD there at the Chair of Scientific Computing.

I am a broadly based applied mathematician. I enjoy working at the interface of several mathematical disciplines: uncertainty quantification, optimal control, and differential equations, in particular stochastic differential equations. More specifically, I work on uncertainty quantification of bifurcations in random ordinary differential equations with applications to climate tipping points. I draw a lot of motivation from real-world applications and challenges that society is facing such as the optimal control of energy systems under uncertainty and risk assessments for climate tipping points.
