Dierk Schleicher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dierk Schleicher (born May 10, 1965 in Hamburg ) is a German mathematician.

Schleicher was the national winner in the national mathematics competition in 1983. He studied computer science in Hamburg with an intermediate diploma in 1988 and physics with a diploma in 1991. He then continued his studies at Cornell University with a master’s degree in mathematics in 1992 and a doctorate in 1994 with John H. Hubbard ( Internal Addresses in the Mandelbrot Set and Irreducibility of Polynomials ). As a post-doctoral student he was at MSRI and from 1995 to 1999 research assistant at the Technical University of Munich , where he completed his habilitation in 1999. In 2000/01 he was a substitute professor there. From 2001 he was Professor of Mathematics at Jacobs University Bremen .

He was visiting scholar at the Mittag-Leffler Institute , the Fields Institute in Toronto and the IHES (where he organized a conference with Adrien Douady in 2003 ), visiting professor at the State University of New York (SUNY) in Stony Brook and at the Institute Henri Poincaré in Paris.

He deals with complex dynamics, symbolic dynamics, conformal and fractal geometry and Thurston theory, determination of roots with the Newton method .

In 2003 he was co-organizer of the German Mathematical Olympiad and in 2009 the International Mathematical Olympiad in Bremen.

From 1984 to 1994 he was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation, of which he is the lead liaison professor.

In 2015 he received an ERC Advanced Grant of 2.3 million euros, with which he runs the research program Hologram (Holomorphic Dynamics connecting Geometry, Root-Finding, Algebra, and the Mandelbrot set).

His hobbies are mountain hiking, kayaking, paragliding.
