Gayrat Toshpulatov concludes his doctoral studies with distinction

The institute would like to warmly congratulate him and wishes all the best for his future research path.

Gayrat Toshpulatov presenting his thesis outcome

Gayrat TOSHPULATOV defended his PhD thesis "Refined entropy method for Fokker-Planck equations with confinement", concluding his doctoral studies with distinction.

The topic of his thesis is the analytical investigation of kinetic Fokker-Planck equations. These are linear and nonlinear partial differential equations which are important e.g. in gas dynamics and plasma physics and also for the description of stochastic processes. The main theme of this work is the study of the large-time behavior of the solutions (in the limit as t goes to infinity), and particularly of the exponential convergence towards the unique steady state. For this convergence, explicit convergence rates (or estimates of it) are found. In some special cases these rates are sharp.

Anton ARNOLD, Fréderic HERAU (Nantes) and Christian SCHMEISER (Uni Wien) were the reviewers of his dissertation. Moreover Arnold and Schmeiser were also examinors in the PhD defense. In October, Dr. Toshpulatov will start a post-doc position at the University of Münster.

Welcome to the Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing (ASC) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Geoinformation of TU Wien!

Our institute currently comprises 19 research groups with more than 60 scientific staff members. In addition, more than 50 student assistants are employed to run the tutorial groups of our courses.

We actively conduct mathematical research in pure and applied mathematics with currently around 25 ongoing research projects. Most of our research topics are from the areas of Computational Science and Engineering as well as Quantum Physics and Quantum Technologies at TU Wien, our focus of attention being the further development of applied mathematics.

With more than 150 courses per academic year, we contribute a large part to the excellent mathematics education at TU Wien. We are pleased that our students can benefit from our outstanding teaching and pursue successful careers in industry or academia.

Finally, members of the institute actively participate in the popular science initiative TUForMath - Forum Mathematik an der TU Wien, opens an external URL in a new window. In addition to popular science evening lectures on current, interesting and entertaining topics related to mathematics, TUForMath offers numerous workshops for school classes, where pupils are shown in a playful way the influence of mathematics on our daily lives, on science and technology, art and culture as well as society and economy. All TUForMath offers are free of charge!

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

With best regards,
Prof. Dirk PRAETORIUS
