We are Mathematics Münster

We aim to further develop mathematics in Münster into a research centre with high international visibility. We will tackle fundamentally important mathematical problems, viewing mathematics as an organic whole with countless interactions.

Mathematics Münster provides an umbrella integrating the four mathematical institutes of the University of Münster (Mathematical Institute, Institute for Analysis and Numerics, Institute for Mathematical Stochastics and the Institute for Mathematical Logic and Foundations of Mathematics) in order to foster collaboration between the 16 mathematical fields and scientific exchange.

New Young Research Fellow: Jan Nienhaus

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Jan Nienhaus will be visiting Mathematics Münster as a Young Research Fellow from mid-July until the end of September. 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 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.

Welcome back Elisabeth Werner

We are pleased that Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Werner is back in Münster as a Münster Research Fellow. She is Professor of Mathematics at Case Western Reserve University and a world-leading expert in convex geometry, functional analysis, and probability theory. She will stay until July 2026 and will intensify her collaborations with researchers from Mathematics Münster.
