Leon Bungert

I am Professor of Mathematics of Machine Learning at the University of Würzburg,  working in applied analysis and numerics, with a particular focus on data science and machine learning. In my research I investigate PDEs and variational models (on graphs), adversarial robustness of machine learning, variational regularization, and nonlinear optimization.

I am guest editor for the European Journal of Applied Mathematics and associate editor for Advances in Continuous and Discrete Models: Theory and Applications.

I am member of the program committee at SSVM 2025 and of the organizing committee of MIA'25
