Ulrich Pinkall
Ulrich Pinkall (* 1955 ) is a German mathematician who deals with differential geometry including computer graphics applications.
Pinkall studied mathematics at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg with a diploma in 1979 and a doctorate with Martin Barner in 1982 ( Dupin's hypersurfaces ), then worked as a research assistant in Freiburg until 1984 and at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn from 1984 to 1986 . In 1985 he completed his habilitation in Bonn (total absolute curvature of immersed surfaces). Since 1986 he has been a professor at the TU Berlin .
In 1985 he received the Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society and in 1986 he received a Heisenberg grant. From 1992 to 2003 he was the spokesman for the SFB 288 (differential geometry and quantum physics).
In 1998 he was invited speaker with Franz Pedit at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin ( Quaternionic analysis of Riemann surfaces and differential geometry ).
