Dr. Cornelia Grabe, German Aerospace Center DLR, Germany

Dr. Cornelia Grabe’s presentation will explore the integration of adjoint-based methods and machine learning for data-driven approaches to turbulence modeling. These innovative methods promise higher prediction accuracy, improving the effectiveness of turbulence models in design and optimization—a topic closely aligned with the conference’s focus on advancing computational engineering solutions.

Dr. Grabe earned her PhD from the University of Stuttgart in 2012. Following this, she joined the C²A²S²E department (Center for Computer Applications in Aerospace Science and Engineering) within the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Göttingen as a postdoctoral researcher. Her work focused on developing CFD-compatible laminar-turbulent transition models for aircraft applications.

In 2017, Dr. Grabe became the head of the C²A²S²E department, and since 2023, she has also served as Deputy Head of the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology in Göttingen, overseeing aeronautical research and the development of numerical methods.

Dr. Grabe’s expertise lies in the development of advanced computational tools for aerospace applications. Under her leadership, the C²A²S²E department has been at the forefront of developing compressible CFD solvers such as TAU and CODA, cutting-edge turbulence and transition models, multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization methods, reduced-order and surrogate models, and scale-resolving simulation methods. These tools are widely applied in aerospace industries and academic institutions across Europe, reinforcing her authority in the field.

Dr. Löhner has authored more than 800 scientific publications, including a widely respected textbook, Applied CFD Techniques. He also serves on the editorial boards of seven international scientific journals.

Prof. Marko Mäkelä, University of Turku, Finland

Professor Marko M. Mäkelä, a leading expert in applied mathematics, serves as Vice Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Turku, Finland. He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Jyväskylä in 1990.

Nonsmooth optimization (NSO) is one of the most challenging areas in deterministic optimization, dealing with problems where the objective or constraint functions have discontinuous gradients. NSO has critical applications in diverse fields, including optimal control, engineering, computational chemistry, data analysis, and machine learning. Beyond these direct applications, smooth optimization techniques—such as decomposition methods, dual formulations, and exact penalty methods—often lead to NSO problems that are smaller in dimension or simpler in structure. Additionally, optimization problems that are analytically smooth may exhibit nonsmooth behavior numerically, further broadening the relevance of NSO.

Professor Mäkelä’s research spans nonsmooth and nonconvex analysis, multiobjective optimization, and the application of these techniques to solve real-world industrial problems. His extensive expertise in the theory and practice of NSO makes his contributions invaluable to the field of computational mathematics.

Dr. W. J. Vankan, Netherlands Aerospace Centre, Netherlands

Dr. Jos Vankan holds an MSc in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in Biomechanics from TU Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
