In my research I work on finite volume methods for the compressible Euler as well as magnetohydrodynamics equations including gravitational source terms. The focus is on the development of methods that are able to maintain hydrostatic equilibria and at the same time provide accurate numerical solutions for problems with low Mach numbers. These methods find practical application, for example, in astrophysics for the simulation of gas flows in the interior of stars.
