Jochen Brüning
Jochen Brüning (born March 29, 1947 in Bad Wildungen ) is a German mathematician who deals with analysis .
Life
Brüning went to school in Kassel and from 1966 studied mathematics and physics at the Philipps University of Marburg , where he obtained his diploma in mathematics in 1969 and received his doctorate in 1972 under Vojislav Avakumovic ( on the number function of elliptic operators ). Then he was a lecturer in Marburg and completed his habilitation in 1977 ( on number of turns in finite W * algebras and related questions ) with Manfred Breuer . He was successively professor at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich (in the 1979 summer semester), the University of Duisburg (from 1979) and the University of Augsburg(from 1983, he was also the University's Senator, Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Vice-Rector for Research) before becoming Professor of Mathematics (Analysis) at the Humboldt University in Berlin in 1995 . From 1996 to 1998 he was managing director of the Institute for Mathematics at Humboldt University. He is a member of the Academic Senate of the Humboldt University. Among other things, he was visiting scholar at IHES , the Institute for Advanced Study (1990), the University of Paris-Süd , the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, the Fields Institute in Toronto, the University of Aarhus , and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , Nagoya University and Tohoku University, Northeastern University and Ohio State University .
Brüning is particularly concerned with geometric analysis and spectral theory (for example eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator and other elliptic operators on manifolds , spectral theory for manifolds with singularities, index sets) as well as mathematical physics (for example Schrödinger operators with magnetic fields and problems in solid state physics ).
From 1999 to 2013 he was Managing Director of the Hermann von Helmholtz Center for Cultural Technology at Humboldt University, after having been Managing Director of the Institute for European Cultural History at the University of Augsburg from 1990 to 1995. Since 2002 he has been a member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences . At the end of the 1990s he was treasurer of the German Mathematicians Association .
Mathematicians Jürgen Appell, Daniel Grieser and Matthias Lesch are among his post-doctoral candidates .
