Mathematical Structures in Physics
We conduct research at the interface of mathematics and theoretical physics, making use of a high degree of cross-fertilization between physical ideas and intuition on the one hand and rigorous mathematical theory on the other.
Open positions for PhD students/postdocs
Applications by candidates of outstanding qualification and a good fit with our research goals will always be considered.
Center for Mathematical Physics Center for Mathematical Physics
The Center for Mathematical Physics facilitates and coordinates interdisciplinary research and teaching activities in this area at all levels: research, promotion of young researchers, graduate and undergraduate teaching.
Research
Our research is centered around formal aspects of quantum field theory and string theory, with a particular focus on defects in quantum field theories. We explore mathematical structures appearing in these areas, as well as their applications in physics and mathematics.
Apart from this, we are also interested in applied topology and topological data analysis.
