Samuel Burbulla, SFB 1313 doctoral researcher (research project B03) had the great pleasure to interview Prof. Florin Adrian Radu from the Institute of Mathematics, University of Bergen. During his stay in February he gave a short course about: “Solvers for nonlinear and/or coupled problems in porous media”.
During the interview, we learn how he became a professor of applied mathematics and how he came first in contact with the field of porous media. We get to know about his collaborations within SFB 1313, especially with Rainer Helmig and Christian Rohde, and about his favourite nonlinear solver.
