Doctoral position in Numerical Analysis at TU Munich
A doctoral position in numerical analysis is available at the Chair of Analysis in the Department of Mathematics at TU Munich. The position is funded by the DFG Emmy-Noether Grant, Numerical Analysis of Electronic Structure Methods for Molecules and Materials, associated with Dr. Muhammad Hassan.
The goal of the project is the development of a posteriori error estimates for state-of-the-art numerical methods used to solve the electronic Schrödinger equation. The electronic Schrödinger equation is a high-dimensional eigenvalue problem that models the behaviour of electrons in molecular systems using non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Cutting-edge numerical methods to solve this equation (such as coupled cluster or DMRG) involve the use of a low-rank, non-linear ansatz. Analysing such methods and developing a posteriori error estimates, therefore, requires tools from non-linear numerical analysis and high-dimensional approximation.
