Volker Bach
Volker Bach (born March 12, 1965 in Bremen ) is a German theoretical physicist , mathematician and university professor .
Life
From 1984 onwards, Bach studied mathematics and physics at the TU Braunschweig , where he obtained his diploma under Heinz Siedentop in 1989 . In 1988/89 he was at Princeton University and from 1989 at ETH Zurich , where he received his doctorate in 1992 under Walter Hunziker . As a post-doc he was with Ruedi Seiler at the TU Berlin and in 1992 an instructor at Princeton University with Elliott Lieb . In 1997 he completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Berlin under Seiler ( perturbation theory and renormalization ). In 1999 he became Professor of Analysis at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz . Since the end of 2010 he has been Professor of Applied Analysis at the TU Braunschweig .
In 1998/1999 he was a Heisenberg fellow of the German Research Foundation, whose Gerhard Hess Prize he received in 1998.
He dealt with the stability of relativistic matter, quantum electrodynamics , Hartree-Fock theory in atoms and molecules, the Hubbard model and Coulomb systems. Bach worked with Israel Michael Sigal and Jürg Fröhlich , among others .
From 2015 to 2016 he was President of the German Mathematicians Association .
