CSE Workshop 2026
Workshop on Image Computing, Mathematical Modeling, Simulation & Optimization of Fluid Dynamic Applications
This workshop brings together young researchers, principal investigators, and leading experts from image computing, mathematical modeling, optimization, numerics and simulation. The aim of the workshop is to foster collaborations of the applied/computational/numerical mathematics departments of the universities in Northern Germany and friends from all over the world. Be welcome!
Dates and Location
- February 18-20, 2026
- at Hotel “Altes Stahlwerk” in Neumünster, Germany
Plenary speakers
Martin Burger (confirmed, DESY Hamburg and University of Hamburg)
As a research unit of Helmholtz Imaging, Martin leads the Computional Imaging Group at DESY. Together with his team, he is developing imaging reconstruction methods and novel mathematical tools enabling the further development. Martin has his background in applied mathematics, where he specialized in the fields of inverse problems, mathematical modelling, and partial differential equations. His appointment at DESY is joint with a full professor position in the mathematics department of Universität Hamburg. Before joining Helmholtz Imaging Martin was full professor at Universität Münster and later Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He is a world-leading expert in inverse problems and applied mathematics and received numerous honors and grants, including the Calderon prize of the inverse problems international association (IPIA) and the ERC Consolidator Grant 2014. He was invited speaker of the leading mathematics conferences ECM (2021), ICM (2022), and ICIAM (2023). He serves on several committees and editorial boards; since 2017 he is an editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Applied Mathematics (Cambridge University Press).
- Melina Freitag (confirmed, University of Potsdam)
Melina studied mathematics in Chemnitz and Bath. She did her PhD in Numerical Analysis in Bath, followed by postdoctoral research in collaboration with the UK Met Office. She received a professorship in Bath in 2010, and since 2019, she is professor for Data Assimilation in Potsdam. She is currently speaker of the “SFB 1294 Datenassimilation”.
- Patricia Römer (confirmed, TU Munich and IMTE Lübeck)
Patricia conducted her doctoral research at the Technical University of Munich and the Helmholtz Center Munich, specializing in algorithm development and analysis for phase retrieval problems. In 2025, she joined the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Individualized and Cell-Based Medical Engineering in Lübeck as a postdoctoral researcher, where she focuses on advancing image reconstruction approaches in magnetic particle imaging.
