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 Young Research Fellow: Elena Demattè

We welcome Elena Demattè as a new Young Research Fellow at Mathematics Münster. She is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. Her research interests cover a broad range of problems in partial differential equations and partial integro-differential equations. During her stay until the end of November 2026, she will collaborate with Prof. Dr. Angela Stevens on kinetic equations in the life sciences.

Insights for prospective students

"Hochschultag" on 12 November

On "Hochschultag Münster", universities and higher education institutions across the city open their doors. Several members of Mathematics Münster willoffer short online lectures, giving prospective students a first insight into what studying mathematics is like: Steffen Dereich, Ralf Schindler and Wilhelm Winter will present topics from their respective fields. At 2:15 pm, there will also be a Q&A session on "Why study mathematics?". Registration is still open.
