Christian Lubich

Christian Lubich (born 29 July 1959) is an Austrian mathematician, specializing in numerical analysis.

He was from 1979 to 1981 a student assistant in Innsbruck and from 1981 to 1983 a research associate in the Sonderforschungsbereich 123 Stochastische mathematische Modelle at the University of Heidelberg.

[1] He received his doctorate in 1983 from the University of Innsbruck with dissertation Zur Stabilität linearer Mehrschrittverfahren für Volterra-Gleichungen (On stability of linear multistep methods for Volterra equations)[2] under Ernst Hairer and habilitated there in 1987.

[1] In 2018 at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Rio de Janeiro, he was a plenary speaker with talk Dynamics, numerical analysis, and some geometry, written jointly with his former doctoral student Ludwig Gauckler and with Ernst Hairer.

[3] Lubich has been a member of the editorial board of Numerische Mathematik since 1995, of Ricerche di Matematica and of the IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis since 2006, of BIT Numerical Mathematics since 1996, and of SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing from 1996 to 2001.
