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.
Congratulations to Mahsa Sayyary Namin on the successful defense of her PhD thesis “Real Algebraic Geometry of the Sextic Curves” which took place online at the University of Leipzig. We are very proud and wish her all the best!
During the last weeks, our IMPRS students Tim Seynnaeve, Paul Görlach, Konstantinos Zemas and Orlando Marigliano successfully defended their dissertations at the University of Leipzig. Congratulations!
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.
José Alejandro Samper and Alexander Heaton provide a brief glimpse into their work on algebraic combinatorics. Their research brief discusses the switch to a language of matroids to capitalize on combinatorial and geometrical structures.
Scientists at MiS and other institutes around the globe have just established a collaborative project that aspires to advance the understanding of linear spaces of symmetric matrices (LSSM).
Frank Röttger just published a new research brief on the geometry of optimal design. He details how information gain can be maximized in the experimental planning phase on the example of ranking players in a chess tournament.
Classically there is a clear distinction between theoretical and applied mathematics in the classification of different fields in the mathematical sciences. Bernd Sturmfels along with Paul Breiding and Sascha Timme present a novel approach that illustrates how this line can be blurred.
A big career step opens for our Dr. Yue Ren, postdoc in the Nonlinear Algebra group. He is one of the laureates of this year’s Future Leaders Fellowship program awarded by UK Research and Innovation.
Sandra Ried has successfully defended her dissertation on the method of convex integration in problems of geometric nature and applications in fluid mechanics. We warmly congratulate her and wish her all the best in her future career at the Georgia Institute of Technology!
Research at MPI MiS is as diverse and multifaceted as the people who pursue it. Our Math Planck People portrait series gives a face to our research and introduces the personalities that make up our institute - our scientists & staff. Meet our brilliant minds!
Our director, Anna Wienhard, is one of the distinguished members of the Hector Fellow Academy. In a video portrait by the Academy, she offers insights into her scientific work and the fascinating world of mathematics.
Our PhD student Laura Casabella has been honored with the Young Talent Award by the Special Interest Group Computer Algebra – Fachgruppe Computeralgebra. Congratulations!
Our group leader Simon Telen has been awarded the 2025 SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry Agnes Szanto Early Career Prize. SIAM has now published a blog post about his work – check it out.
