Insights

At "MM Conversations", speakers and participants of events and workshops organised by Mathematics Münster are interviewed by early career researchers. In these conversations, they share their latest research findings, offer critical insights into the future of their field and provide valuable advice for aspiring scientists.

The "Postdoc Paper Talks" feature postdocs from Mathematics Münster talking about their published papers. In the interviews, they share insights into their findings and areas of research. The conversations are available as audio file and transcript.

Prof. Dr. Eva Viehmann, investigator at Mathematics Münster, has been awarded the Leibniz Prize 2024 for her influential work on arithmetic algebraic geometry as part of the Langlands Programme. Mathematicians from Eva Viehmann's research environment, provide insights into this complex field of research. (2024)

Prof. Dr. Angela Stevens provides insights into "Mathematical Modeling: Opportunities, Challenges, and Limitations" during the public lecture series of the Center for Science Theory. (in German, 2023)

In an episode of the podcast "Exzellent erklärt - Spitzenforschung für alle" , Prof. Dr. Eva Viehmann and Prof. Dr. Gustav Holzegel from our Cluster of Excellence provide insights into the world of mathematical research. They talk about moments of joy and frustration in research and why it is so important in mathematics to think beyond the boundaries of one's own field. (in German,2023)

Mathematics is essential for understanding climate change and modelling future scenarios. On the initiative of Mathematics Münster, the pop-up museum 10-Minuten Museum Mathematik der Klimakrise complemented the special exhibition DAS KLIMA at the LWL Museum of Natural History in Münster from August 2023 to January 2024. A diverse programme of events allowed visitors of all ages to explore the topic in greater depth. Here, you can find video recordings of selected talks. (in German, 2023)

Prof. Dr. Ralf Schindler from Mathematics Münster and Prof. Dr. David Asperó (University of East Anglia) published a proof about the sizes of infinities uniting two rival axioms of set theory. The result has not only made waves among scientists – popular science media has also taken up the topic. An overview. (2022)

In the podcast of the University of Münster, researchers from various disciplines share their insights. In this episode, Prof. Dr. Matthias Löwe, a member of Mathematics Münster, is a guest. The conversation revolves around the fascination of mathematics, the beauty of proofs, philosophy  – but also the significant role mathematics plays in many areas of society. (in German, 2022)

As part of a nationwide series of events, mathematical institutions across Germany presented the seven greatest adventures in mathematics, the "Millennium Problems", and provided updates on the current state of research. At our location in Münster, the focus was on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture. Check out the video recordings of the talks. (2022)

In this interview, Prof. Dr. Benedikt Wirth, Professor of Mathematical Optimisation, offers a glimpse into the fundamental mathematical concepts that drive medical imaging. He also discusses concrete research projects he is undertaking in partnership with researchers from biology, medicine, and other fields. (2022)
