About

Uwe joined the mathematics department in 2001. He earned his degrees from the University of Siegen in Germany (diploma 1985, PhD 1989, habilitation 1995). He also earned the teaching certificate for Mathematics/Physics for NRW (Germany). He spent 1989/190 as NASA scholar at Brandeis University.

Uwe’s research interests are in Geometric topology. This asks and answers questions about immersions and embeddings in manifolds, in particular link theory in manifolds and in low dimensions studies geometric and quantum invariants. He is also interested in all aspects of Quantum Computing and Mathematical Physics.
