ERC grant for Michael Feischl: High precision, maximum speed

Prof. Michael Feischl is investigating how to achieve maximum precision in complicated computing tasks with minimal computer effort. He has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for his work. When the world is simulated on a computer, the simulation is never completely accurate. Just as every image on the computer consists of individual pixels, the world is divided into small portions in order to do complicated scientific calculations. The way this is done has a decisive influence on how long the calculation takes and how precise the result is. Prof. Michael Feischl from the Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing at TU Wien develops mathematical methods to solve partial differential equations on the computer as quickly and precisely as possible. He has now been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) - one of the most prestigious and highly endowed grants in the European research landscape.
