Dr. Ringhofer's research centers around the development and analysis of numerical methods for the solution of partial differential equations. The focus of his research interests is on methods for kinetic equations of hyperbolic type arising from
transport models for solids and charged gases. Here, the numerical approaches used consist of a combination of finite difference, spectral- and spectral element methods. Theoretical analysis of these methods involves nonlinear PDE theory,
functional analysis and operator theory.
