About Me

I am MATHEON-Professor and head of the Mathematical Geometry Processing group at the Institute of Mathematics at FU Berlin. I am full professor of Mathematics with research interests in the areas mathematical geometry processing, discrete differential geometry and mathematical visualization.

As chair of the Berlin Mathematical Society, one of my side-activities is the public mathematics plattform math.berlin.
