Mathematics Münster

This second M²A² workshop aims to further mathematical modeling and model falsification in the sciences and to point out important new mathematical theories being and having to be developed for a better understanding of real world phenomena.

Prof. Dr. Julian Fischer (IST, Klosterneuburg) will give a talk entitled "Minimal surfaces in random environments: Quantitative homogenization, superconcentration, and applications in fracture mechanics" at the Colloquium Wilhelm Killing on 23 July 2026. Tea time starts at 3:15 pm in the Cluster Common Room.

The Young Geometers meeting aims at bridging subareas of Differential Geometry by bringing together early career researchers working in geometry and related fields. The focus of the conference is therefore to provide networking opportunities for advanced master students, doctoral researchers and early career postdocs.

In Honor of Bernhard Riemann’s 200th birthday
The Cluster of Excellence 'Mathematics Münster' has recently obtained continued funding for its second term. Much like the cluster bridges the full spectrum of mathematics at Münster ‒ from pure to applied ‒ the conference aims to unite prominent international mathematicians, cluster researchers, and early career scholars.

Prof. Dr. Kilian Raschel (CNRS, Université de Tours) is a Münster Research Fellow and visits our Cluster for the third time. He works at the interface of combinatorics, harmonic analysis, and probability. He is widely regarded as one of the leading European researchers in modern random walk theory. During his stay in Münster from 15 July to 15 August 2026 he will further conduct joint research with Prof. Dr. Gerold Alsmeyer and Prof. Dr. Zakhar Kabluchko on persistence problems for autoregressive and moving average processes. 

This year, the exhibition ship MS Wissenschaft is dedicated to the theme of the medicine of the future. At the "Zukunftsmarkt" on 4 July 2026, researchers from the Mathematics Münster Cluster of Excellence demonstrated at an interactive exhibit how mathematical models help to improve the treatment of conditions such as epilepsy and psychotic disorders.

Last week, the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science held its graduation ceremony in the "Schloss". All doctoral graduates who successfully completed their doctorate in the past year were invited to attend, along with their families and friends. We congratulate all graduates, especially the 15 doctoral graduates from Mathematics Münster!

In the new podcast episode, Carlo speaks with Benjamin Brück about his journey to Münster, away from it, and ultimately back again, the stations and challenges along the way and his connection to music. In his research Benjamin is focusing on high dimensional cohomology of arithmetic groups.
