Mathematics Münster

Dynamics – Geometry – Structure

Mathematics Münster advances cutting-edge research by implementing integrated approaches to solve fundamental problems across various mathematical disciplines. By combining and connecting diverse fields, techniques, and perspectives, we develop comprehensive solutions that solve large classes of mathematical problems and open up new fields of application.

New episode of "On a Tangent"

with Adam Thompson

In the new episode of our podcast "On a Tangent", Carlo talks with Adam Thompson about his time swimming competitively, his fascination with geometry and his experiences moving around the world. Adam is a PhD candidate in Christoph Böhm’s research group, where he focuses on Ricci solitons, geometric flows, and spaces with symmetry.
