Ms. Prof. Dr. Karin Baur was appointed W3 Professor of Pure Mathematics. We warmly congratulate you.

The newly appointed professor works in high-dimensional space - and finds the Ruhr area particularly well suited for this.

Ms. Prof. Dr. Stéphanie Cupit-Foutou has been appointed W2 Professor of Geometry and Representation Theory. We warmly congratulate you.

The newly appointed professor optimizes algorithms for various applications from medicine to mechanical engineering. Interdisciplinarity is emphasized by Prof. Dr. Martin Kronbichler with capital letters. It is precisely in exchange with other departments that the questions in which the Professor of Applied Numerics is most interested arise.
