Hey! I am Jakob Deutsch. Currently, I work as a university assistant at TU Wien in the group 'Multiscale Calculus of Variations' of Elisa Davoli at the Institute of Analysis and Scientific Computing. I am doing my PhD under the supervision of Elisa Davoli (TU Wien) and Manuel Friedrich (JKU Linz). I am also a member of the student board of the Vienna School of Mathematics (VSM), and organise a discussion group for PhDs close to & in Calculus of Variations with Samuele Riccò.

My primary research interests are rooted in the field of Calculus of Variations and Geometric Measure Theory. More specifically, my thesis topic is solid-solid phase transitions (also known as the two-gradient theory of phase transitions).

You will find me at these events in 2026: 

• Modern Methods in the Calculus of Variations (Feb, Bonn)

• GAMM Annual Meeting (March, Stuttgart)

• The 15th AIMS Conference  (July, Athens)
