Who I am and what I do

Roland Steinbauer I am a mathematician/mathematical physicist and a researcher in mathematics education in the Analysis, Geometric Structures and Mathematical Physics section of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna. I am the coordinator of the Austrian Science Fund's (FWF) Emerging Fields project

A new geometry for Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Beyond


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.
