The more symmetries, the better: Mathematician Daniel Brosch seeks solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems

Daniel Brosch, postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Klagenfurt, is looking into some of the toughest open questions in discrete mathematics. For his research, he recently received a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, which will take him to the world’s northernmost university in Norway for two years.

Quanta – From Mystery To Revolution

One hundred years ago, quantum physics revolutionized our understanding of the world; today, it continues to actively shape our future. On the occasion of UNESCO’s International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, an event was held at the University of Klagenfurt to highlight the connections to and current research in Carinthia, organized by Paul Erker (IQOQI Vienna), Peter Holub (Educational Lab at Lakesidepark and Verein Inizia), and Angelika Wiegele (Institute of Mathematics, AAU).

Faster mathematical methods for stable technical solutions

Inverse problems constitute an essential framework for approaching a large variety of issues in technical and medical domains. They are used to determine the underlying causes and structures on the basis of measurements or results. Examples include imaging techniques, where measurement data is used to produce an image of the inside of the body or the inside of a bridge pier. The challenge here is that most inverse problems have the vulnerability that even small perturbations in the data can trigger high oscillations in the solution. A research team at the Department of Mathematics, led by Elena Resmerita, is seeking to develop new and faster mathematical methods to find stable solutions to these problems.
