Univ.-Prof. Dr. Birgit Schörkhuber

My field of research is the Analysis of Partial Differential Equations, where I am particularly interested in the dynamics in nonlinear, time-dependent problems. This includes dispersive models such as nonlinear wave or Schrödinger equations as well as nonlinear heat flows and more complicated systems arising in theoretical physics and mathematics.  My work focuses on the rigorous analysis of the behaviour of solutions and the description of finite-time singularities.
