I am the head of the research group on "Applied Algebra" at the Department of Mathematics of the Technische Universität Braunschweig.
In the years 2019 - 2024 I was an elected member of the German Young Academy -- Die Junge Akademie (Class 2019; my profile at the JA).
In the academic year 2022/23, I served as the chair of Die Junge Akademie (and was a member of the board in the years 2021/22 and 2022/23).
Here you can find the press release.
In the years 2017 - 2023 I was a member of the Emmy Noether Program of the DFG, leading a project on "New Certificates of Nonnegativity and Their Application in Science and Engineering".
Before I came to TU Braunschweig, I held positions at the Technical University Berlin,
the Texas A&M University, the Saarland University, and the Goethe University.
Here you can find my CV.
Office hours: By appointment
How to reach me
Communication via email is slow and takes a (too) significant portion of working hours. It is it challenging to repond to all requests, particularly in a timely manner. Hence, for complex matters, if possible please make an appointment. When writing me, if possible please reach out to me as follows:
- General Inquiries: Please write to applied_algebra(AT)tu-braunschweig.de read by me and our secretary Silke Thiel at TUBS. All matters, which do not concern the Young Academy and that are neither personal nor confidential should go here.
- Personal / Confidential Inquiries: Please write to t.de-wolff(AT)tu-braunschweig.de read by me alone.
- Junge Akademie Inquiries: Please write to t.de-wolff(AT)tu-braunschweig.de, but CC the managing director Alexandra Heidle-Chhatwani via heidle-chhatwani(AT)diejungeakademie.de.
Editorial, Organizatorial and Committee Work
I am an associate editor for the SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry.
I am member of the advisory board for the MEGA conference series.
I am a member of the ISSAC 2024 Programm Committee.
Joint with Boulos El Hilany, Dirk Lorenz, Tim Römer and Stefan Kunis I am organizing the Seminar on Applied Algebra and Analysis (AAA Seminar).
In June - November 2022 I was joint with Sebastian Stiller, supported by Janin Heuer, the main organizer for "Die 7 größten Abenteuer der Mathematik" ("The 7 Biggest Adventures in Mathematics") - a series of talks and outreach activities about the seven Millennium Problems taking place in seven German cities.
The event was organized by Die Junge Akademie (in a project joint with our Alumna Anna Wienhard) and the Deutsche Mathematiker Vereinigung. It was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and was under patronage of Bettina Stark-Watzinger, the federal Minister of Education and Research.
Here you find the poster, the press release (in German), and the trailer for the series.
The recorded talks are here.
