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. 

Am Freitag, 11. Juli 2025, ging es beim Wissenschaftsfestival "SchlauRaum"um Mathematik: "Wir folgen dem kleinen Medicus durch den Körper – mit mathematisch-medizinischer Bildgebung!" war der Titel des Vortrags von Prof. Dr. Benedikt Wirth von unserem Exzellenzcluster Mathematik Münster, dem viele interessierte Zuhörer:innen im Open-Air-Hörsaal in der Stubengasse folgten.

Research at the new "Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Dynamics" (IMMIDD) , which had its Inaugural Symposium at the University of Münster on 10 July, aims to contribute to the fight against pandemics. Prof. Dr. Christian Engwer, a member of our Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster, is involved in the center. In a guest article, he explains the role that numerical simulations play in this research. [de]
