In parallel with his work at Simula
Research Laboratory, Langtangen held a professorship at the University of Oslo, being on 80% leave since the establishment of Simula in 2001. He joined the Department of Mathematics in 1991, but after being promoted to full Professor in Mechanics at the Department

Langtangen's research was interdisciplinary and revolved around applied mathematics and scientific computing with an emphasis on continuum mechanical modeling, stochastic methods and scientific software design, with applications to biomedicine and geoscience in particular. His last research is

Langtangen’s early research focused on numerical methods, in particular finite element methods and preconditioning for incompressible viscous flow and flow through porous media. During the early and mid 1990s, Langtangen pioneered and developed
