Katrin Grunert
About
I am Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences. I have a MSc and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Vienna, Austria.
My research focuses on non-linear partial differential equations that govern the motion of waves. These equations also model wave phenomena such as wave breaking. I investigate, with the help of mathematical methods, which influence a wave phenomenon has on the future shape of a wave for a given wave profile.
Projects
- Member of NTNU's Outstanding Academic Fellows Programme 3.0
- Principal investigator of the RCN Young Research Talent project Wave Phenomena and Stability - a Shocking Combination, 2019-2024.
- Participant in the RCN Toppforsk project Waves and Nonlinear Phenomena, 2016-2022.
