Prof. Michael Griebel is Professor of Numerical Simulation and Director of the Institute for Numerical Simulation at the University of Bonn, and Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing (SCAI) in Sankt Augustin, Germany. Born in Augsburg in 1960, he studied Computer Science at the Technische Universität München, where he obtained his Diplom in 1985, Dr. rer. nat. in 1989, and Habilitation in 1993.

Prof. Griebel has held visiting professorships at leading institutions, including the University of California, San Diego, the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (UCLA), the University Paris VII Diderot, and the University of New South Wales, Sydney. He was also appointed International Fellow of the Australian Research Council (ARCIF).

His research focuses on the fast numerical solution of partial differential equations, multigrid and multilevel methods, high-dimensional problems, parallel computing, and numerical methods for data analysis and scientific computing, with applications in fluid dynamics (CFD), molecular dynamics (MD), and engineering sciences.

Prof. Griebel has authored seven books and over 150 peer-reviewed publications, and he serves as Managing Editor of Numerische Mathematik. He is also a member of the editorial boards of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering and Texts in Computational Science and Engineering.

Within the European Academy of Sciences, Prof. Griebel served as Officer of the Computational and Information Sciences Division:

• March 2020 – March 2023,

• Extended until March 2024 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in accordance with the Bylaws.
