Norbert Hungerbühler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norbert Hungerbühler (born April 25, 1964 in Flawil ) is a Swiss mathematician .

Hungerbühler attended the Burggraben Cantonal School in St. Gallen and studied mathematics at the ETH Zurich with a diploma in 1989 with Christian Blatter (computer tomography) and a doctorate in 1994 with Michael Struwe (and Jürgen Moser ) ( p-harmonic flow ). As a post-doctoral student , he was Stefan Müller's assistant at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg and at the University of Minnesota . In 1998/99 he was at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Natural Sciences in Leipzig . In 1999/2000 he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama . In 2000 he completed his habilitation at the ETH Zurich (Young measures and Partial Differential Equations) and was then professor at the University of Friborg , where he headed the Department of Mathematics in 2003 and 2007. In 2010 he became a professor at the ETH Zurich.

Hungerbühler is particularly concerned with analysis ( partial differential equations including application in differential geometry and hydrodynamics ), but also, for example, with number theory, geometry (such as billiard problems) and combinatorics (including entertainment mathematics ).

In 2006/2007 he was President of the Swiss Mathematical Society , of which he was Secretary in 2003 and Vice President in 2004/2005. From 2006 to 2010 he was the founding director of the Graduate Program for Mathematics in Switzerland.
