Mathematics and solar system research award for Dr Janosch Preuss

Mathematician at Göttingen University and MPI for Solar System Research develops numerical method to calculate how waves propagate inside the Sun. (mps/pug) The German Society for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) has awarded Dr. Janosch Preuss from the Institute for Numerical and Applied Mathematics at the University of Göttingen and from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) this year's Klaus Körper Prize. The GAMM thus honors the results presented by Janosch Preuss in his PhD-thesis at the end of last year. In it, he deals with the propagation of acoustic waves in the interior of the Sun. In order to model these waves as accurately as possible from observational data, it is necessary to also take into account the influence of the solar atmosphere. Janosch Preuss succeeds in doing so more efficiently and more precisely than ever before. His research was conducted within the Collaborative Research Center 1456 "Mathematics of Experiment" at the University of Göttingen.
