Complex Heterogeneous Systems

M. Schmuck currently is a research scientist and development engineer for a Switzerland-wide Sensor and Data Fusion System as well as an Academic Visitor of the Faculty of Engineering, Imperial College, London. He obtained his MSc degree from ETH Zürich and his PhD from Universität Tübingen, both in Mathematics. Subsequently, he was awarded a prospective researcher grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation funding his research on the development of rigorous mathematical methods in electrochemistry at Engineering and Mathematics Departments of the Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge. He continued his line of research with a focus on fluid flow at the Imperial College, London, again jointly in Engineering and Mathematics Departments before his appointment as an Assistant Professor in 2013 at the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences and Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Thanks to a research award from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for a project on the rigorous and systematic upscaling and the simulation of lithium batteries taking also phase transforming intercalation hosts into account, he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2017.
