After studying mathematics at the Philipps University of Marburg, he initially worked as a research assistant at the TU Dresden, where he received his doctorate in 2011. In 2013, he moved to the TU Kaiserslautern as a junior professor of stochastics.

Felix Lindner's research focuses on the analysis and numerics of stochastic (partial) differential equations. Such equations describe random dynamics in finite- and infinite-dimensional state spaces and have numerous applications in various fields of natural sciences, engineering and economics. The fact that the solutions to these equations cannot usually be represented explicitly explains the high relevance of both the analytical derivation of properties of the solutions and the approximate calculation or simulation of the solutions using suitable numerical algorithms.
