Working life

Bernd Stellmacher, Oberwolfach 2008

Stellmacher received his doctorate in 1972 at the University of Bielefeld under Bernd Fischer ( a designation of the groups Sp (2n, 2), O + (2n, 2) and O- (2n, 2) ). He was a professor in Bielefeld in the 1980s and has been a professor at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel since 1990 (as the successor to Wolfgang Gaschütz ) . Stellmacher has retired since March 2009.

With his former doctoral Ulrich Meier Frankenfeld , Gernot Stroth and others, he is working on a project to simplify the classification program of finite simple groups involved, but was already in the 1980s the simplification program of the second generation proof of Daniel Gorenstein involved. He made use of geometric methods from simplifications with Alberto Delgado of David Goldschmidt's amalgam method .
