Type of position
Post-doc position.
Duration of employment
2 years.
Affiliation
The successful applicant will be employed at the
Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing
of
TU Wien (Vienna, Austria)
and will be associated to the workgroups of
Michael Feischl and
Dirk Praetorius.
Theme
Structure-preserving numerical schemes for diffusion systems
With the project, we aim to drive the development of robust numerical
methods for the Landau—Lifschitz—Gilbert equation (LLG) of magnetization dynamics.
This nonlinear and time-dependent PDE is actively used in the simulation of magnetic devices,
such as high-performance hard drives, or magnetic sensors.
Mathematically, the project's focus lies on three pillars: First, we investigate coupling of
the equation to other systems (Maxwell, electron spin accumulation, ...)
in order to simulate real-life phenomena.
Second, we consider advanced sampling techniques for stochastic LLG such as quasi-Monte Carlo,
sparse grids, and multi-level methods. Third, we aim to develop adaptive mesh-refinement
techniques to resolve spatial and temporal singularities.
Depending on the preferences and background of the candidate, all the themes can be approached from a very applied scientific computing perspective, or from a theoretical numerical analysis view. A successful candidate for this position should have a background in the numerical analysis of either PDEs or high-dimensional methods.
Involved researchers of the SFB
Michael Feischl and
Dirk Praetorius (TU Wien).
