Dr. Hidde Schönberger has been selected for the Dr.-Klaus-Körper Prize 2025, awarded by the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM). He received this honor for his doctoral thesis titled “Nonlocal gradients within variational models: Existence theories and asymptotic analysis”, which he completed at the Chair of Analysis under the supervision of Prof. Carolin Kreisbeck.
In his dissertation, Dr. Schönberger investigates mathematical models involving nonlocal gradients—a highly topical subject in variational calculus, particularly relevant in the modeling of material behavior. His work develops new existence theories and provides a thorough asymptotic analysis of such models. The concepts introduced in the thesis represent a significant contribution to the understanding and advancement of nonlocal variational principles.
Dr. Schönberger is currently a postdoctoral researcher at TU Wien, where he continues his research in this field, among other activities.
The Dr.-Klaus-Körper Prize is awarded annually to young researchers under the age of 35 for an outstanding dissertation in applied mathematics or mechanics. It is funded by the Dr.-Klaus-Körper Foundation and conferred by the GAMM Executive Board. Dr. Schönberger was presented with the award during the GAMM Annual Meeting, which took place from April 7–11, 2025, in Poznań, Poland.
The entire Department of Mathematics congratulates Dr. Schönberger on this recognition!
