Christian Lubich is a professor and head of Numerical Analysis Groups at the University of Tuebingen, Germany. His research concerns with mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, differential equation, exponential integrator and numerical stability. He is an expert on numerical analysis of time-dependent problems, including ordinary/partial differential equations and evolutionary integral equations. His recent research interests include dynamical low-rank approximation of high-dimensional matrix and tensor differential equations with applications to quantum dynamics and plasma physics, highly oscillatory problems, stable numerical interior-exterior coupling of wave equations, and the numerical analysis of geometric evolution equations. He is a famous applied mathematician with many influential works. He won a SIAM Dahlquist Prize, and gave a plenary lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro in 2018.
