Uwe Naumann

I am a professor for Computer Science at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, and Principal Scientist at the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) Ltd., Oxford, UK.

My research is inspired by Algorithmic Differentiation (AD) including

- combinatorial problems in AD [e.g.]
- integration of AD into / application to numerical methods [e.g.]
- AD software development [e.g.]
- AD in parallel high-performance computing [e.g.]
- static and dynamic program analysis, transformation and optimization [e.g.]
- adjoint methods in computational science, engineering and finance [e.g.]

As a fundamental enabling methodology AD not only yields a wide range of intellectual and technical challenges. It also fosters interdisciplinarity as the most promising approach to problem solving based on mathematical modelling and numerical simulation. Its practical relevance helps to generate and to sustain links between academia and industry.
