Prof. Angela Kunoth

Short Biography


Angela Kunoth earned her Doctorate at the Freie Universitaet Berlin in 1994 and her Habilitation in Mathematics at the RWTH Aachen (Germany) in 2000. She received a Fulbright fellowship for graduate studies in mathematics at the University of South Carolina in 1990/91 and postdoctoral fellowships at Sintef, Oslo (Norway) in 1994, Texas A&M University in 1995 and the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Mathematics and Stochastics in Berlin from 1995 until 1997. From 1999 until 2007, she was professor at the Institute for Applied Mathematics and the Institute for Numerical Simulation at the University of Bonn, Germany. Since October 2007, she holds the chair 'Complex Systems' at the Institute for Mathematics at the University of Paderborn (Germany).

Professor Kunoth's research interests lie in the numerical analysis of operator equations, data fitting problems, and interdisciplinary applications. Specifically, she develops wavelet and multiscale methods for optimal control problems constrained by partial differential equations. Her research has been supported by several grants of the German Science Foundation (in particular, SFB 611 and TR 32) and the European Union. She has served on committees for the NSF, the Research Council of Norway and the Science Foundation of Ireland. Recent invited talks have been given at the 4th International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Applications (Macao), at the 22nd Biennial Conference on Numerical Analysis (Dundee, UK) and at a number of Oberwolfach workshops.

She currently serves on the Editorial Board for the 'SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis', 'Numerische Mathematik', the 'Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics' and 'Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences'.
