Future Proof is our career achievements column, which features stories of our current and former scientists, their accomplishments and professional development.
We are proud to announce that Wolfram Barfuss, a former postdoc of Jürgen Jost, has been appointed Professor in the transdisciplinary research area Innovation and Technology for Sustainable Futures at the University of Bonn. Congratulations to Wolfram on this exciting new appointment!
Eliana Duarte was interviewed by Gudrun Thäter for DMV-Mitteilungen about what it means for her, who calls other parts of the world home, to now be living and working in Germany.
We are thrilled to share the news that our former Research group leader Angkana Rüland will take up a prestigious Hausdorff Chair professorship at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) in Bonn.
The next step in her scientific career will take our group leader Raffaella Mulas to the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where she has been appointed Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics. Congratulations and all the best for the future!
Our director Anna Wienhard is the recipient of the Hector Science Award for her outstanding research in mathematics. Founder Dr h.c. Hans-Werner Hector inducted her into the Academy, which now comprises 28 Hector Fellows who are jointly committed to interdisciplinary top-level research and to promoting young scientists in Germany.
Great news at the start of the new year comes from our postdoc Samantha Fairchild. She was awarded a two-year Walter Benjamin Fellowship of DFG (German Research Foundation) for her research on the “Analysis of discrete sets arising from geometry” - a perfect opportunity to run her own research program at our institute.
Congratulations and best wishes go to our former IMPRS student Tristan Buckmaster who has to announce a great career step. In July last year he was appointed Professor of Mathematics at the University of Maryland.
In October, our former research group leader André Uschmajew moved to the University of Augsburg, where he took over the chair of Mathematical Data Science. We would like to congratulate him and wish him all the best in his new position.
We are proud to announce that our postdocs Mima Stanojkovski, Carlos Améndola, and Marvin Hahn successfully acquired tenure track positions at prestigious European Universities. Congratulations!
In April our group leader Paul Breiding moved to the Mathematical Institute at Osnabrück University. He is now a professor for mathematical methods in the data sciences. We would like to congratulate him and wish him all the best in his new position.
Our former postdoc Jonas Sauer has accepted a junior professorship for Analysis at Jena University. The university recently featured him in an article about his new position and a novel podcast concept geared towards early-career researchers.
In April 2021, our former group leader Nihat Ay was appointed professor at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and Head of the Institute for Data Science Foundations as part of the Hamburg Innovation Port.
A big step in her scientific career awaits our former postdoc Eliana Maria Duarte Gelvez. In Portugal, she was able to acquire one of five highly coveted fellowships in the field of mathematics and computer science.
After countless publications, the composition of an extensive book on Nonlinear Algebra and many fruitful mathematical discussions Mateusz Michałek has left the institute for a new position at the University of Konstanz.
We would to like to congratulate our former scientists Martina Hofmanová and Julian Fischer who rank among Europe's best young researchers. For their excellent work they have each been awarded an ERC Starting Grant.
Tinggui Zhang and Damián Blasi, both former PhD students of Jürgen Jost, have been awarded the “South China Sea Masters” youth project funding and the Robert J. Glushko dissertation prizes in cognitive science, respectively.
After more than two years of excellent research at the institute, Angkana Rüland is leaving us to become a professor of applied mathematics at the Ruprecht-Karls-University in Heidelberg. We would like to congratulate Angkana on her position and wish her all the best in Heidelberg.
We would like to congratulate our former IMPRS and PhD student Tim Laux on his appointment as Bonn Junior Fellow at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) in January of this year.
