The MPI MiS is a member of ERCOM (European Research Centres in Mathematics). The institute has an extensive visitors programme which has made Leipzig a main place for research in applied mathematics. Tensors and Optimization (André Uschmajew).

Structure of Evolution (Matteo Smerlak).Rigidity and Flexibility in PDEs (Angkana Rüland).Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry (Mateusz Michałek).Stochastic partial differential equations (Benjamin Gess).Information Theory of Cognitive Systems (Nihat Ay).Riemannian, Kählerian and algebraic geometry, and neuronal networks ( Jürgen Jost),.Pattern formation, energy landscapes and scaling laws ( Felix Otto),.Founded on March 1, 1996, the institute works on projects which apply mathematics in various areas of natural sciences, in particular physics, biology, chemistry and material science.

MiS) in Leipzig is a research institute of the Max Planck Society. He firmly believes in excellence through diversity, and the axioms laid out by Federico Ardila.The Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI Among his 60 doctoral students and countless postdocs, many are female. Only European centres which are institutional members of the EMS, predominantly research oriented, with an international scientific board and a large international visiting programme, covering. Sturmfels is passionate about promoting outward-looking mathematics and the inclusion of talents from all backgrounds. ERCOM is an EMS committee consisting of Scientific Directors of European Research Centres in the Mathematical Sciences, or their chosen representatives. He is a fellow of AMS and SIAM,and a member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. Hishonors include a David and Lucile Packard Fellowship, a Humboldt Senior Research Prize, the SIAM von Neumann Lecturership, and the George David Birkhoff Prize in Applied Mathematics. To generate a fully international environment at all levels, CIRM also insists on the fact that events with a large international outreach should have an international organizing team. He is also affiliated with the Technical University Berlin and Leipzig University. Furthermore, information is posted on international platforms such as the AMS calendar, ERCOM and EMS websites, etc. In 2017 he moved to the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, where he is a director and the head of the Nonlinear Algebra department.

He joined UC Berkeley in 1995, where he is a Professor of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science. Sturmfels received doctoral degrees in 1987 from the University of Washingtonand the Technical University Darmstadt, and an honorary doctorate in 2015from the Goethe University Frankfurt. He has authored 11 books and 270 research articles. He is well-known for his contributions to computational algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, geometric combinatorics, and their applications, notably in statistics, optimization, and the lifesciences.

In Colombia, he is a member of the Academia Colombiana de Ciencias and was awarded the Premios Nacionales de Ciencias y de Matemáticas.įederico is committed to fostering an increasingly just, equitable, and welcoming community of mathematicians. He is a Fellow of the AMS and he has received the CAREER Award of the NSF, the National Teaching Award of the MAA, and the Programs that Make a Difference Award of the AMS. His interests include polytopes, matroids, Lie and Coxeter combinatorics, Hopf algebras, and tropical geometry.įederico is a Professor of Mathematics at San Francisco State University. Federico Ardila investigates objects in algebra, geometry, topology, and applications by understanding their underlying combinatorial structure.
