Christoph Schwab (born 14 October 1962 in Flörsheim am Main, Germany) is a German applied mathematician, specializing in numerical analysis of partial differential equations and boundary integral equations.
By means of a Fulbright Scholarship, from 1985 he studied at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he received his PhD in 1989.
[1] His thesis Dimensional Reduction for Elliptic Boundary Value Problems[2] was written under the supervision of Ivo Babuška.
[3] Schwab was a postdoc for the academic year 1989–1990 at London's University of Westminster.
[1] In his research the central issues are the finite and boundary element methods (BEM) for numerical solutions of partial differential equations in technology, as well as the mathematical analysis of the modeling of physical processes.
