Tobias Preusser studied mathematics at the University of Bonn and at New York University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Duisburg with a thesis on anisotropic geometric diffusion in image processing and his habilitation in Mathematics from the University of Bremen with a thesis on image-based computing. He is a professor for the mathematical modeling of biomedical processes at Jacobs University Bremen, head of the modeling and simulation group, and member of the management board at the Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS. On the one hand, his research interests include modeling and simulation of bio-medical processes with partial differential equations (PDEs), mathematical image processing, and scientific visualization based on PDEs. On the other hand, his research is driven by concrete and complex application problems in medicine.
