Andreas Brandstädt (born January 17, 1949 in Arnstadt , Thuringia ) is a German mathematician and computer scientist.

life and work

Brandstädt studied mathematics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and graduated with a doctorate in stochastics in 1976. He completed his habilitation in 1983 in the field of complexity theory. Since 1974 he worked there in the group of his academic teacher Gerd Wechsung .

From 1991 to 1994 he was Professor of Computer Science at the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Duisburg , and from 1994 to 2014 he was Professor of Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Rostock .

He was visiting professor at the Universities of Metz , Amiens and Clermont-Ferrand ( France ) and the University of Primorska in Koper ( Slovenia ). He has been invited to speak at various conferences in Argentina, Austria, Belarus, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Greece, India, Israel, Norway, Poland, Slovenia and Switzerland.

Brandstädt is an active researcher in the fields of graph algorithms, discrete mathematics , combinatorial optimization and graph theory . He frequently uses the tree structure of graphs and hypergraphs in his research to study hyper-trees, strongly chordal graphs, and chordal graphs . He was a member of the program committee of the conference series Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science many times (and was three times co-organizer of this conference). He is also a member of the editorial board of the journal Discrete Applied Mathematics .
