Christof Melcher

I am a former student of the work group for applied mathematical analysis of Professor Willi Jäger. Born in Mannheim in 1972, I began my studies in mathematics and physics at the University of Heidelberg in 1993 where I got my degree in april 1999. Since may 1999 I am a Ph.D. student in the research group of Professor Stefan Müller at the Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig . My main research areas lie in the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations. I am particularly interested in multiscale problems arising from continuum mechanics and materials science. At present I am working on the internal structure of magnetic domain walls and the formation of patterns and microstructure in thin ferromagnetic films.

Scientific Interests:

• Nonlinear partial differential equations
• Multiscale phenomena and singular limits
• Micromagnetics, especially thin films

You can downlowd a postscript version of my (german) diploma thesis on elastically bounded Fluids and a preprint of recent results on Néel walls in ferromagnetic film. Addresses:
