New Young Research Fellow: Jan Nienhaus

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Jan Nienhaus as a new Young Research Fellow. He is a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research lies in the field of Riemannian geometry, with a particular focus on lower curvature bounds and their interactions with symmetry and topology. During his stay at our Cluster until the end of September, he will collaborate with Dennis Wulle and is also one of the organisers of the Young Geometers Meeting.

New episode of 'On a Tangent'

with Nataniel Marquis

Listen to the new podcast episode. Nataniel Marquis works in p-adic geometry and talks with Carlo about their enthusiasm for mathematics, Batman’s influence on it, the French education system, and how dancing and music help them clear their mind. In the video, Nataniel explains how the notion of space and complex geometry can be adapted to the p-adic framework.

New Münster Research Fellow: Artem Chernikov

We are pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Artem Chernikov as a new Münster Research Fellow to our Cluster. He holds the Michael Brin Endowed Chair in Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. Chernikov is recognised as one of the leading experts in model theory, working on a broad spectrum of topics ranging from abstract model theory to groups and combinatorics. During his research stay until October 2026, he is strengthening his collaboration with Katrin Tent and the logic group. His research stay at Mathematics Münster is funded through the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
