Volker Ludwig Mehrmann (born 1955) is a German mathematician.
At Bielefeld University he completed his PhD in 1982 under Ludwig Elsner [1] and his Habilitation in 1987 with a dissertation on control theory. Mehrmann was from 1990 to 1992 a Vertretungsprofessor (interim professor) at the RWTH Aachen University. From 1993 to 2000 he was a professor at the Chemnitz University of Technology. Since 2000 he has been a professor at the Institute for Mathematics at the Technical University of Berlin. From June 2008 to May 2016 he was the spokesperson for the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft's mathematical center called Matheon. From January 2011 to December 2013 he was president of the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik (GAMM). In 2011 he received from the European Research Council (ERC) an advanced grant for modeling, simulation, and control of multiphysics systems. [2] From 2019 to 2022 he is president of the European Mathematical Society (EMS). [3]
Mehrmann is a member of the Deutschen Akademie der Technikwissenschaften (Acatech) and of Academia Europaea. In 2015 he gave the Gauss Lecture. He was awarded in 2018 the W. T. and Idalia Reid Prize [4] and in 2019 the Hans Schneider Prize in Linear Algebra. [5] He was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, in the 2022 class of fellows, "for contributions to scientific computing and numerical linear algebra, and service and leadership in the mathematical community".
Mehrmann's research deals with numerical linear algebra, differential-algebraic equations, and control theory. Volker Mehrmann is on the editorial staffs of several journals, including Linear Algebra and Its Applications and Numerische Mathematik . [6]

Lothar Collatz was a German mathematician, born in Arnsberg, Westphalia.
Lloyd Nicholas Trefethen is an American mathematician, professor of numerical analysis and head of the Numerical Analysis Group at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford.
Stefan Bergman was a Congress Poland-born American mathematician whose primary work was in complex analysis. His name is also written Bergmann; he dropped the second "n" when he came to the U. S. He is best known for the kernel function he discovered while at University of Berlin in 1922. This function is known today as the Bergman kernel. Bergman taught for many years at Stanford University, and served as an advisor to several students.
Nicholas John Higham FRS is a British numerical analyst. He is Royal Society Research Professor and Richardson Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester.
Hans Georg Bock is a German university professor for mathematics and scientific computing. He has served as managing director of Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing of Heidelberg University from 2005 to 2017. Before this, he had been vice managing director from 1993 to 2004. Hans Georg Bock is a member of the European Mathematical Society's committee for developing countries (CDC-EMS) and responsible member for the region of Asia therein.
Ludwig Schlesinger, was a German mathematician known for the research in the field of linear differential equations.
Hans Jörg Stetter is a German mathematician, specializing in numerical analysis.
The Hans Schneider Prize in Linear Algebra is awarded every three years by the International Linear Algebra Society. It recognizes research, contributions, and achievements at the highest level of linear algebra and was first awarded in 1993. It may be awarded for an outstanding scientific achievement or for lifetime contributions and may be awarded to more than one recipient. The award honors Hans Schneider, "one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th Century in the field of linear algebra and matrix analysis.” The prize includes a plaque, certificate and/or a monetary award.
Angelika Bunse-Gerstner is a German mathematician specializing in numerical linear algebra and control theory.
Validated numerics, or rigorous computation, verified computation, reliable computation, numerical verification is numerics including mathematically strict error evaluation, and it is one field of numerical analysis. For computation, interval arithmetic is used, and all results are represented by intervals. Validated numerics were used by Warwick Tucker in order to solve the 14th of Smale's problems, and today it is recognized as a powerful tool for the study of dynamical systems.
Beresford Neill Parlett is an English applied mathematician, specializing in numerical analysis and scientific computation.
Peter Bürgisser is a Swiss mathematician and theoretical computer scientist who deals with algorithmic algebra and algebraic complexity theory.
Rolf Rannacher is a German mathematician and a professor of numerical analysis at Heidelberg University.
Christian Lubich is an Austrian mathematician, specializing in numerical analysis.
Tatjana Stykel is a Russian mathematician who works as a professor of computational mathematics in the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Augsburg in Germany. Her research interests include numerical linear algebra, control theory, and differential-algebraic systems of equations.
Gerhard Wanner is an Austrian mathematician.
Hans-Wilhelm Knobloch was a German mathematician, specializing in dynamical systems and control theory. Although the field of mathematical systems and control theory was already well-established in several other countries, Hans-Wilhelm Knobloch and Diederich Hinrichsen were the two mathematicians of most importance in establishing this field in Germany.
Daniel Kressner is a German numerical analyst. He has a Chair of Numerical Algorithms and High Performance Computing in the Institute of Mathematics at EPF Lausanne.
Peter Benner is a German mathematician specialized in dynamical systems and numerical analysis. He was managing director at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg.
