Research:

I work in the interdiscipliary research project HESCOR under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Angela Kunoth. We model human migration since the last glacial maximum using partial differential equations on networks.  My current work is on

• Creating migration networks using archaeological data
• Describing and modelling population dynamics on networks

     HESCOR News:

• Using Math to Map Stone Age Migrations
• Modelling Human Migration on Networks Using Partial Differential Equations
