Mathematician Anne Frühbis-Krüger appointed

Prof. Dr. Anne Frühbis-Krüger has been awarded the Professorship of Mathematics with special focus on arithmetic/algebraic geometry and computer algebra.

She teaches and does research at the intersection of pure mathematics and the development of algorithms. Previously, she was an adjunct professor at the University of Hannover’s Institute of Algebraic Geometry. Frühbis-Krüger studied mathematics and physics before completing her PhD at the Technische Universität Kaiserslautern in 2000, where she also earned her Habilitation. After several months on a research stay in Paris and a Visiting Professorship at the Freie Universität Berlin, she moved to Leibniz Universität Hannover. A central aspect in Frühbis-Krüger's research are problems of a geometric flavour, in many cases centered around singularities of spaces and maps. She addresses these based on methods of symbolic computation, integrating parallel algorithms and an experimental approach using computational algebra into her work.
