The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved further funding for our Research Training Group in applied mathematics, titled Energy, Entropy, and Dissipative Dynamics. The RTG will run through 30 September 2026.

It combines analysis, modeling, and numerics of nonlinear partial differential equations coming from physics, materials science, and geometry. A common theme among the research projects is the use of energy and entropy functionals and their dissipation mechanisms as a tool for the investigation of the qualitative and quantitative behavior of solutions.

Eight RWTH professors will continue their contribution to the Research Training Group and ten doctoral researchers as well as a postdoc are financed by the German Research Foundation, which will provide a total of 4.1 million Euros for the second funding period.
