Professor Sonnendrücker’s research field is modeling numerical simulation problems arising in plasma physics, particularly in magnetic fusion. His main interest lies in the study of kinetic models, fluid models, and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). He studied mathematics at the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan in France and acquired his PhD. Afterward, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Research Center Karlsruhe, Germany, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California, as a research fellow at CNRS Nancy, France. In 2000, he was appointed to a professorship position in applied mathematics at the University of Strasbourg, France, where he led a research group focusing on the development and analysis of numerical methods for plasma physics. In 2006, he shifted his main focus toward magnetic fusion applications. In September 2012, he became a scientific member and director at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics.
