Nominator's project description

Professor Charles M. Elliott from the University of Warwick in England The mathematician Professor Charles M. Elliott gained worldwide reputation for his outstanding contributions to the analysis and numerical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations. He proved first existence and uniqueness results, developed and analyzed new numerical schemes and also applied his theoretical results to practically relevant problems from material science, fluid dynamics, theoretical biology and others. In Germany he will focus on geometric partial differential equations and the numerical simulation of coupled processes involving biomembranes.
