Jörg Weber

I am a postdoctoral fellow in mathematics at the University of Vienna, mentored by Adrian Constantin. I obtained my Ph.D. in 2020 from the University of Bayreuth under the supervision of Gerhard Rein. Afterwards I was a postdoctoral fellow and researcher at Lund University, mentored by Erik Wahlén.

My research concerns the analytical study of nonlinear partial differential equations, in particular within the scope of kinetic theory and fluid mechanics. My main interests include

• in kinetic theory
  • analysis of kinetic equations such as Vlasov—Poisson or Vlasov—Maxwell,
  • optimal control problems arising in plasma physics,
  • construction and stability of confined stationary plasmas;
• in fluid mechanics
  • steady water waves modelled by the full Euler equations,
  • two-dimensional waves with general vorticity,
  • amplitude bounds for water waves,
  • axisymmetric waves with vorticity and swirl.
