Jakob Wagner studied at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and graduated with his Master’s degree in 2020. Between 2016 and 2017 he was also a member of the elite program TopMath at TUM.
In his Master’s thesis, he considered an optimal control problem to identify Dirac measures as initial data of a diffusion equation. Complementing his studies, he has also gained experience in industry projects covering fluid simulations and acoustic optimization for hydraulic systems, as well as topology optimization.
Since 2020, Jakob Wagner is working at Prof. Vexler’s Chair of Optimal Control in Munich, conducting research for his doctoral degree. The main focus of his doctoral studies is the optimal control of flow problems, modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations, mainly in a context of hemodynamics i.e. blood flow.
