Who are we?
Despite being quite present on this website, we, the officers, are also just students and members of the chapter.
So in order to make this a bit more personal, we decided to write a short introduction of ourselves and what we do, which you will find in the following.

My name is Henrik Wyschka and after taking over the IT duties last year, I will be the president for the upcoming term.
Workwise, I do my PhD in the research training group 2583 at the UHH with Prof. Winnifried Wollner on shape optimization.
In particular, I am interested in solutions to p-Laplace problems including source terms and their limits using FEM.
This results in spending a lot of time doing my favorite work, coding.
Nevertheless, I still have some connections to the TUHH, since I previously studied Industrial Mathematics south of the Elbe and did a lot of committee work during that time.
Off work, I enjoy bouldering, swimming, biking or running with the foolish intention of training for a triathlon.
Aside from that, I occasionally return to competitive gaming.

My name is Michael Koch and I am a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sabine Le Borne since July 2023
and now also the new vice president of the student chapter.
You can find me either in the RTG 2583 at UHH or in the mathematics department at TUHH.
My PhD topic is about developing new preconditioners for the radial basis function finite difference method with the goal of speeding up the solution process for partial differential equations faster.
Prior to this I was studying Industrial Mathematics at TUHH/UHH.
Outside of the university I really enjoy bouldering.

My name is Kemal Firdaus, and I am the new treasurer and secretary.
I come from Indonesia, where I also earn my master’s degree.
Currently, I am doing my PhD along with the RTG 2583 at UHH under the supervision of Prof. Jörn Behrens.
My research focuses on modelling the dispersive waves while still being computationally efficient by developing an adaptive non-hydrostatic extension to shallow water equations.
During my leisure, I like to watch movies, play badminton, or just stroll around the city.

My name is Tim Suchan, and I am the new IT officer. I have a Master's degree from the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and have been working towards my PhD since July 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Kathrin Welker. For three years I was part of the research training group SENSUS and I am mainly interested in the theory and the numerical solution of shape optimization with partial differential equation constraints, specifically considering shape optimization problems as optimization problems on (infinite-dimensional) Riemannian manifolds. I also have some experience with variational inequality constraints and stochastic optimization. Leisure-wise I regularly go swimming.
