Understanding Wave Phenomena
Waves are everywhere, and understanding their behavior leads us to understand nature. The goal of CRC 1173 »Wave Phenomena« is therefore to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis and numerics.
Today, Benjamin Unger received his certificate of appointment from the KIT President Jan Hesthaven. He will start his professorship on April 1st. Congratulations, Benjamin!
The CRC's spokespersons and management went in the time of carnival on a retreat in Bad Herrenalb. We used the time for scheduling, preparing, and initiating upcoming events. We did also some aftermath of our recent conference.
Our conference went very well. As far as we can tell all had a great time. We are really satisfied with the accomplishment of this tremendous event. You can see all the happy faces.

We welcome our new junior research group leader Dr. Moritz Hauck. We are glad that he joined us and we wish him a successfull time at KIT.
We are happy to welcome our colleague and collaborator Serge Nicaise this week as a guest at KIT. On Thursday he will give a talk in the Karlsruhe PDE Seminar series.
Details of his talk
Congratulations to Christian Koos, Stefan Bräse, and their collaborators. Their common project ATHENS will get funded by the ERC with a Synergy Grant over a period of six years and a funding volume of 14 million Euros. The goal is to make optical communication systems more powerful and energy efficient.

We are happy that our new book Wave phenomena has been finally published in the Oberwolfach Seminars series.
Have a look at Springer
Finally, today we have published the video of our diversity project. You can share it now with friends and family. Have fun watching.
