Snapshot: Postdoctoral researcher Dr. Aleksey Sikstel joins our research group


Aleksey defended his doctoral thesis on coupling of hyperbolic conservation laws in 2020 at the RWTH Aachen University while working with Prof. Siegfried Müller and Prof. Michael Herty. After that he continued working with Prof. Jan Giesselmann at the TU Darmstadt on a posteriori error estimators for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws before switching to Cologne in 2022.

Alekseys research focus lies on adaptivity for high-order numerical methods for hyperbolic conservation laws, coupling of conservation laws via sharp interfaces, multiphase flows and stochastic-Galerkin PDE. In the Numerical Simulation Research Group Aleksey is working on multi-ion MHD systems and novel coupling and temporal schemes within the Snubic-project.
