Steffen Werner awarded Luther and Alice Hamlett Junior Faculty Fellowship
Steffen Werner, assistant professor of mathematics in the College of Science at Virginia Tech, has been awarded a Luther and Alice Hamlett Junior Faculty Fellowship by the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors.
The Luther and Alice Hamlett Junior Faculty Fellowships were established through a generous bequest from the estate of the late Luther J. Hamlett ’45, who earned his bachelor’s degree in biology. They provide support for outstanding faculty members who hold the rank of assistant or associate professor and whose work supports the missions of the college’s Academy of Integrated Science or Computational Modeling and Data Analytics Program and with some past or present interaction with either.
A member of the Virginia Tech community for two years, Werner is a Computational Modeling and Data Analytics Program-affiliated faculty member whose research program focuses on model order reduction, data-driven modeling, numerical linear algebra, and mathematical software.
He has contributed more than 50 publications in leading mathematics journals and is invited to speak on his research at conferences and at prestigious institutes and universities all over the world.
Werner is an organizer of the trimester program Computational Multifidelity, Multilevel, and Multiscale Methods at the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics in Germany being held in spring 2026.
Werner earned his doctoral degree in mathematics from the Otto von Guericke University in 2021 and spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University.
