Prof. Dr. Shirly Geffen, investigator of Mathematics Münster, works in the field of operator algebras, and more specifically, C*-algebras. Since 2024, she has held a permanent professorship at the University of Münster. In this interview, she shares how she discovered her research field, how her academic path led her from Israel to a MATHRIX assistant professorship in Münster, and what she finds particularly beautiful about mathematics. 

We invite applications for two MATHRIX Assistant Professorships in Mathematics, deadline 30 September 2025. One of the positions will be filled in an area of theoretical mathematics, and one in an area of applied mathematics. The two positions, each running for 3+3 years, come with an attractive start-up package.

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 25 doctoral graduates from Mathematics Münster!
