Harald Garcke (born June 5, 1963 in Bremerhaven)[1] is a German mathematician and professor at the University of Regensburg.

Garcke studied Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Bonn and finished his PhD 1993 as a student of Hans Wilhelm Alt (Travelling-Wave-Lösungen als Realisierung von Phasenübergängen bei Gedächtnismetallen).

[2] 1993/94 he was post-doc with Charles M. Elliott at the University of Sussex and from 1994 he was scientific assistant in Bonn where he finished his habilitation in 2000 (with the habilitation thesis On mathematical models for phase separation in elastically stressed solids).

Together with Christof Eck and Peter Knabner he is the author of a book on mathematical modelling.

Barrett and R. Nürnberg on the mathematics of snow crystals was also well received by the popular media.
