We welcome Prof. Dr. Ho Hai Phung from the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) as a new Münster Research Fellow at our Cluster. His stay until the end of November 2026 is sponsored by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation: the renowned specialist in algebra and algebraic geometry was awarded the Humboldt Research Award. He is the first scientist from Vietnam to receive this distinction.

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.

Until 1 November 2026, you can apply for doctoral and postdoctoral positions at Mathematics Münster. Applications for Ada Lovelace Fellowships (doctoral add-on positions) are also welcome. Join our research community and pursue your research in an international and collaborative environment!

The new interview series provides insights into the professional trajectories of former members of Mathematics Münster. The second episode features our former MATHRIX professor Kristin Courtney (Gabe). She works at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense and has just been promoted to Associate Professor. Find out more about Kristins's time in Münster, her research and her advice for early career researchers.

In light of the development during this summer, Claudia Alfes (Bielefeld), Andreas Thom (TU Dresden) and Thomas Nikolaus (Mathematics Münster) put forward draft positions on the future of mathematical research and mathematics degree programmes in the age of AI, alongside questions and possible answers. With this AI.MATH initiative they invite you to join the discussion and make room for the uncertainties, hopes and concerns associated with this change.

We are celebrating the start of the second funding period of our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster with a three-day conference, which opened yesterday. Eleven renowned international speakers and members of Mathematics Münster are presenting insights into their current research through Friday. [de]
