New PhD Researcher at the Chair of Analysis: Welcome, Anna Simon

On 1 May 2026, Anna Simon joins the team at the Chair of Analysis. After successfully completing her Master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Regensburg, she is now beginning her PhD at KU.

Her research focuses on developing new analytical approaches to precisely describe the effective behaviour of thin elastic structures with fine-scale, periodic reinforcements. These questions are motivated by concrete applications in medical technology. Her PhD project is part of the collaborative initiative “MAS-TOB: Multiscale Analysis and Structural Optimisation of Patient-Specific Therapeutic Orthoses and Bandages”, conducted jointly with the RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, and funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR).

A warm welcome to Eichstätt, Anna - we very much look forward to working with you!
