Presenter

Stephanie Wollherr has a degree in Mathematics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) where she graduated in 2013 specializing in numerical methods for wave propagation problems. She started her PhD at the Geophysics department of LMU Munich in 2014 developing the software package SeisSol to model realistic earthquake scenarios.
During her PhD she incorporated plastic deformation into SeisSol and is currently investigating the effects of different material behavior on the rupture process and seismic wave propagation in complex fault geometries.
