A chapter in Lectures on Applied Mathematics, 2000, pp 3-8 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It gives me great pleasure to participate in the 60th birthday celebration of Karl-Heinz Hoffmann. Professor Hoffmann is known worldwide through his research in applied mathematics. He is also recognized for his leadership role in making connections between mathematics and the sciences, and between mathematical research in academia and industrial problems which lend themselves to mathematical modeling. I recall travelling with Professor Hoffmann to companies such as BASF and SIEMENS to discuss and identify problems of interest to these companies. I also recall attending his lectures in international conferences. In these lectures, he developed models in areas such as smart materials and phase transition, and presented innovative mathematical analysis as well as effective numerical simulations.
