Welcome to the home page of the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Potsdam. We are one of eight institutes in the Faculty of Science. The Faculty is the largest of the six faculties at the University of Potsdam. We thank you for your interest in our institute, our research projects and collaborations.Learn more
Welcome new Master students!
Information about the Master's programme can be found here. Other current information can be found here in Moodle.
This year's state round of the Brandenburg Mathematical Olympiad took place in Blossin from 23 to 25 February. In two challenging exams, the best young mathematicians were selected for the team that will represent Brandenburg at the Federal Olympiad in Flensburg in June.
We congratulate Lenni Gohlke, Laetitia Salzwedel, Anna Tittel, Dora Erdmann, Klara Guzenda, Magdalena Baltes, Clara Buchholz, Erik Cesca Fernandez, Luca Zucchelli and Jonathan Baumann and keep our fingers crossed for them for the national round!
Prof. Christian Bär has been the new Editor-in-Chief of the international open access information service for mathematics zbMATH Open since 1 January 2024. Read Christian Bär's interview on quality assurance, the topic of "Open Science" and his plans as Editor-in-Chief here.
Welcome to the Institute of Mathematics!

There are currently 15 professors at the Institute of Mathematics in Potsdam. Their research groups represent a broad spectrum of current research directions in Mathematics. Members of the institute coordinate a Collaborative Research Center (SFB 1294) and are part of the steering committee of a Priority Program (SPP 2026) both financed by the German Research Foundation DFG.

We would like to welcome our new colleagues to the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Potsdam. The most important information about the first days at the institute can be found in our onboarding document.
I started a postdoc position in the Geometry group at the beginning of October and am excited about the opportunity to work with my new colleagues. In my dissertation in Bonn, which I completed earlier this year, I worked on a formula for Hadamard coefficients (the Lorentz equivalent of heat conduction coefficients).
My more general research interests are geometry (especially Lorentz geometry), global analysis, operator theory and mathematical physics. Following on from my dissertation, I plan to work on finding a Lorentzian equivalent of a spectral action, but am also happy to see joint research projects on other topics.
