Who I am and what I do
|
I am a mathematician/mathematical physicist and a researcher in mathematics education at the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna.
I am a member of the research group DiANA
(Differential Algebras and Nonlinear Analysis) in the Analysis, Geometric Structures and Mathematical Physics section of the department.
My research interests include:
- mathematical physics/mathematical general relativity:
spacetime singularities, cosmic censorship, exact radiative spacetimes, impulsivge gravitational waves
- mathematics education:
professional knowledge of teachers, beliefs on teaching and learning mathematics
- (applied) mathematics:
generalized functions, theory of PDE, kinetic theory, time frequency analysis & modulation spaces
|
Also I am member and treasurer of the IAGF (The International Association for Generalized Functions), a life-time member of ISAAC (The International Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation), and a member of GDM (The German Society of Didactics of Mathematics).
My teaching includes a variety of courses in several areas of mathematics reaching from general first-year-courses to specialized courses and seminars in analysis, PDE and geometry, as well as major courses in the teacher’s training programme
I am a supervisor both in the
I have co-authored the general introductory book Einführung in das Mathematische Arbeiten (German,Introduction into mathematical methodology) with Hermann Schichl. Together we are running a service web page accompanying the book. We have been awarded the UNIVIE Teaching Award 2013 of Vienna University and the Ars Docendi 2016, the Austrian National Award in University Teaching.
