Since the beginning of March, Dr. Torsten Mütze has headed the Department of Discrete Mathematics in a Heisenberg Professorship funded by the DFG. After studying computer science and electrical engineering at TU Dresden, he received his doctorate from ETH Zurich in 2011, followed by postdoctoral positions at the Georgia Institute of Technology and TU Berlin, where he habilitated in 2018. Before coming to Kassel, Thorsten Mütze had been an assistant professor at the University of Warwick in England since 2019. His Heisenberg project deals with long-standing open and tricky questions at the interface between mathematics and computer science. He would like to play an active role in Kassel in organizing the Day of Mathematics and in supporting pupils in early studies.
