Live and act

Bunke is the son of Helga Königsdorf and Olaf Bunke and nephew of Tamara Bunke . He first studied physics from 1982 at the Humboldt University in Berlin with a diploma in statistical physics from Werner Ebeling in 1989. He received his doctorate in 1991 from the University of Greifswald with Jürgen Eichhorn on the subject of spectral theory of Dirac operators on open manifolds . In 1991/92 he was a visiting scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. He completed his habilitation in 1995 at the Humboldt University in Berlin with a thesis on the bonding formula of the invariant. ${\ displaystyle \ eta}$

In 1996 Bunke became professor at the University of Göttingen ; since 2007 he has held a professorship at the University of Regensburg . He is the spokesman for the Graduate School “Curvature, Cycles and Cohomology”.
