Short info

Florin A. Radu studied pure mathematics at the University of Bucharest, Romania. After graduation, he made his PhD in applied mathematics in 2004 at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), Germany under the supervision of Prof. Peter Knabner.
Research

Florin A. Radu received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), Germany. The topic of his thesis was design, analysis and implementation of numerical methods for variable saturated flow and transport in porous media. After the PhD, Florin had several researcher positions at FAU, Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in Science, Leipzig, University of Jena and Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research, Leipzig. He was acting professor at FAU for one semester in spring 2011. In autumn 2011 he finally moved to UUniversity of Bergen, Norway (UoB) as Associate Professor. In 2013 Florin finished his habilitation at FAU. Since 2015 he is Full Professor of Applied Mathematics at UoB.

Florin A. Radu has over 25 years experience in porous media research, working with applications including water and soil pollution, enhanced oil recovery, CO2 storage, cancer research, pharmaceutical technology or enhance geothermal energy extraction. He made relevant contributions in the development of efficient and robust solvers for coupled, nonlinear partial differential equations, in mathematical modelling of multicomponent, multiphase flow and deformation in porous media and in numerical analysis in connection with discretization methods for partial differential equations. His work has been cited over 5000 times at google scholar so far.

Teaching

I have a very strong teaching experience which extends over 25 years, more than 20 courses and seminars, and in four languages: Romanian, English, German and Norwegian. I taught both undergraduate courses, as well as courses for Master and PhD students.
