About
Prof. Dr. Eva Viehmann is a leading mathematician at the University of Münster within the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science and a key figure in the Mathematics Münster cluster. She was awarded the prestigious Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize 2024 for her groundbreaking work in arithmetic algebraic geometry and representation theory within the Langlands program.

- Department: Mathematical Institute
Her research focuses on the intersection of algebra, geometry, and analysis, particularly through the lens of Shimura varieties and moduli spaces of local G-shtukas. She has pioneered the study of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in equal and mixed characteristics, advancing understanding of their dimension, connectedness, and irreducible components.
Recent publications highlight her work on Newton stratification, Harder-Narasimhan theory, and p-adic moduli spaces. Her scientific advisory contributions include mentoring former doctoral student Stefania Trentin and collaborating with Prof. Urs Hartl over 15 years.
Awards and honors include the Leibniz Prize 2024, reflecting her status as a trailblazer in arithmetic geometry and p-adic geometry. Her research projects span the CRC 1442 and EXC 2044, aiming to unify Galois representations, automorphic forms, and geometric methods.
