Konrad Polthier
Konrad Polthier (born September 30, 1961 ) is a German mathematician who deals with differential geometry and the visualization of geometry in computer graphics .
Polthier received his doctorate in 1993 from the University of Bonn under Hermann Karcher and completed his habilitation in 2002 at the TU Berlin (Polyhedral surfaces of constant mean curvature). Polthier has been Professor of Mathematics at the Free University of Berlin since 2005 and founder and head of the Mathematical Geometry Processing working group there , as well as at the DFG Research Center Matheon . He is Managing Director of the Institute for Mathematics at the Free University of Berlin (2010) and in its Academic Senate. Polthier is one of the directors of the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) and was its spokesperson from 2010-12.
Polthier is particularly known for mathematical applications of computer graphics , for example for the representation of minimal areas .
He is co-editor of the book series Mathematics and Visualization and Geometry and Computing at Springer Verlag.
From 2011 to 2012 he was chairman of the Geometric Design working group at SIAM .
