Boris Vexler

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Boris Vexler is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Technical University of Munich. His research focuses on numerical analysis, particularly in the areas of optimal control and partial differential equations. He is the chair of the Optimal Control group and teaches courses such as Analysis 1 and 2, Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations, and Nonlinear Optimization. His work includes publications on error estimates for finite element discretizations and optimal control problems. He is also involved in research on parabolic and elliptic optimal control problems, as well as fractional diffusion and fluid-structure interaction.

Boris Vexler is a Professor for Optimal Control at the Technische Universität München. His research focuses on Optimal Control, Numerical Analysis, Finite Element Methods, and PDE-constrained optimization. He has extensively worked on adaptive space-time finite element methods for parabolic optimization problems, a priori and a posteriori error estimates for discretization of optimal control problems, and stabilized finite element methods for convection-diffusion equations. His work also includes mesh refinement and numerical sensitivity analysis for parameter calibration of partial differential equations, as well as semismooth Newton methods for optimal control of the wave equation with control constraints.
