International Programmes at Mathematics Münster

Wir freuen uns, die neuen Stipendiatinnen des Young African Mathematicians (YAM) Fellowship Programms in Münster begrüßen zu können. Ester Kitengu, Herimamy T. Rafenomanantsoa und Joseline Doriane Simo Tekeu werden in den kommenden Monaten in verschiedenen Forschungsgruppen an ihren Projekten arbeiten. Auf unserer Webseite stellen sie sich kurz vor.

We welcome Prof. Dr. Mirna Džamonja (Associate Researcher at IHPST (Université Panthéon-Sorbonne) and IRIF (Université Paris Cité)) as a Münster Research Fellow. Mirna Džamonja is a logician who mostly works in set theory, specialising in combinatorial set theory. During her stay at our Cluster in October 2024, she collaborates with Ralf Schindler on questions that connect inner model theory and combinatorial properties of ultrafilters and forcing.

We are happy about the stay of Prof. Dr. John R. Steel (UC Berkeley) as a Münster Research Fellow at the Cluster. He is one of the best set theorists worldwide. He keeps producing seminal results in descriptive set theory as well as in inner model theory. He has been a coorganiser of the "Münster meetings in inner model theory" for many years, putting a lot of energy into the promotion of young students. During his stay at our Cluster in September he continued his collaborations with Ralf Schindler.

We welcome Dr. Amandine Escalier as a new Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. She works in geometric group theory and measured dynamics at Université Lyon 1. She plans to work with Linus Kramer on graph products and right-angled Artin groups, and with David Kerr on orbit equivalence of measurable actions.

We welcome Dr. Simone Cecchini as a new Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. He is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University and works at the interface of global analysis and topology. During his visit to Münster, he will continue his longstanding collaboration with Rudolf Zeidler on scalar curvature rigidity questions and exchange ideas with other scientists at Mathematics Münster.

We are pleased to welcome Prof. Alexander Marynych (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine) to Mathematics Münster as a Münster Research Fellow starting July 15. Previously, he spent several months at the Cluster as a Humboldt Fellow. Alexander Marynych is a Ukrainian probabilist who continues the traditions of the world-famous Kyiv school in the theory of stochastic processes. During his research stay in Münster, Alexander Marynych plans to continue his collaboration with several members of the Institute of Mathematical Stochastics, including Gerold Alsmeyer, Jonas Jalowy, Zakhar Kabluchko, and Matthias Löwe.

We are delighted that Dr. Philipp Reiser joins our Cluster as a new Young Research Fellow. He is motivated by the long-standing question of how the topology and geometry of Riemannian manifolds interact. During his stay at Mathematics Münster from 1st to 26th July 2024, he is especially collaborating with Masoumeh Zarei.

We welcome Prof. Dr. Dima Sinapova from Rutgers University as a Münster Research Fellow. She is one of the leading experts worldwide on the study of aspects of the failure of the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis (SCH). During her stay at our Cluster in June 2024 she will continue her collaborations with Ralf Schindler.

The fellows 2023/2024 of the Young African Mathematicians (YAM) Fellowship Programme and representatives of the YAM network from Berlin, Bonn and Heidelberg and Münster met this Monday, 17 June, at Mathematics Münster for the final meeting.

We welcome Dr. Volker Schlue as a Visiting Scholar (on leave from the University of Melbourne). His stay is funded by the Humboldt Foundation. Volker is a promising mathematician in general relativity and nonlinear wave equations. He joined our Cluster in April 2024. During his extended stay at our Cluster until February 2025, he will contribute actively to all activities in the research group of Prof. Gustav Holzegel.

Das "Young African Mathematicians Fellowship Programme" ermöglicht begabten Masterabsolvent:innen aus Afrika, sich in einem anregenden, internationalen Umfeld wissenschaftlich weiterzuentwickeln und einen soliden Grundstein für den eigenen Werdegang zu legen. Seit Oktober forschen erstmals drei Stipendiaten am Exzellenzcluster Mathematik Münster.

We welcome Dr. Thomas Leblé (Université de Paris Cité) as a Münster Research Fellow. He is a promising mathematician in probability theory and mathematical physics. During his stay at our Cluster from 19 February to end of March 2024 he will continue his collaborations with Martin Huesmann.

Nun ist es offiziell: Der Exzellenzcluster Mathematik Münster hat mit dem Department of Mathematical Sciences an der Universität Kopenhagen eine Kooperationsvereinbarung geschlossen. Über die Hintergründe und Chancen dieser Kooperation haben wir mit Thomas Nikolaus, Sprecher des Exzellenzclusters Mathematik Münster, gesprochen.

We welcome Prof. Dr. Martin J. Gander (University of Geneva) as a Münster Research Fellow. He is a renowned mathematician in numerical analysis and scientific computing. During his stay at our Cluster in October and 04 - 08 December 2023 he will continue his collaborations with Prof. Dr. Mario Ohlberger and with Dr. Stephan Rave on localized model order reduction and domain decomposition methods and will plan new projects with further members of Mathematics Münster.

Die ersten Stipendiaten haben es geschafft: Anupam Datta, Zhuang Kang und Shervin Sorouri, die während ihres Masterstudiums von Mathematik Münster mit einem Vollzeitstipendium gefördert wurden, haben ihr Studium in Münster abgeschlossen und ihre Zertifikate erhalten. Die internationalen Studierenden haben in den vergangenen zwei Jahren viele wertvolle Erfahrungen in Münster gemacht, wie sie hier selbst berichten.

 

Zwei starke Forschungsinstitutionen haben jetzt eine intensive Zusammenarbeit vereinbart: Mathematikerinnen und Mathematiker der Universität Münster und Forschende des "Instituto de Matemática e Estatística" der "Universidade de São Paulo" (IME-USP) kooperieren im Rahmen des FAPESP-SPRINT-Förderprogramms für zwölf Monate auf dem Gebiet der Geometrie.

We welcome Prof. Dr. Duong H. Phong (Columbia University) as a Münster Research Fellow. He is known for his research on complex analysis, partial differential equations, string theory and complex geometry. During his stay at our Cluster from 30 July to 30 August 2023 he is collaborating with Dr. Bianca Santoro, Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Hein and other members of the complex geometry group in Mathematics Münster.

The new holders of the scholarships for excellent international master’s students have arrived: Yassaman Jafarabadi, Vindula Kumaranayake and Devansh Sehta started their studies at the University of Münster in October. They are supported by full grant scholarships awarded by the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster. In interviews, they tell us why they chose Münster, which mathematical topics they will focus on and what they hope to achieve during their time here.

Das erste Kurzzeit-Stipendium für internationale Mathematik-Masterstudierende geht an José Rafael Santiago. Der Venezolaner ist Anfang des Jahres in Münster angekommen und wird, gefördert durch das neue Stipendien-Programm des Exzellenzclusters Mathematik Münster, sechs Monate an der WWU verbringen.

Nach einigen organisatorischen Hürden sind Anupam Datta, Zhuang Kang und Shervin Sorouri in Münster angekommen und in ihr Masterstudium an der WWU gestartet. Sie sind die ersten internationalen Studierenden, die das neue Vollstipendium erhalten. Auf diese Weise unterstützt der Exzellenzcluster Mathematik Münster vielversprechenden mathematischen Nachwuchs bereits auf dieser Stufe.
