Steffen Koenig

Steffen Koenig is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Stuttgart's Institut für Algebra und Zahlentheorie, part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. He has held this position since 2010, following roles at the University of Cologne (2005–2010) and the University of Leicester (2000–2005). His academic journey includes a Diploma (1986), PhD (1988), and Habilitation (1993) from the University of Stuttgart.

• Research: Focuses on Representation Theory of Algebras, Homological Algebra, and Triangulated Categories. Organized major events like the 2019 'Two Weeks of Silting' conference and the 2021 'Homological Methods in Representation Theory' conference.
• Teaching: Taught courses on Linear Algebra, Algebra, Representation Theory, and Higher Structures in Representation Theory across multiple academic terms (e.g., 2024/25 Winter Semester).

Awards: Recipient of the Maier-Leibnitz Prize (1995), Heisenberg Fellowship (1995–2000), and Leverhulme Research Fellowship (2004/2005). Extensive editorial roles include membership in the editorial boards of Journal of Algebra and its Applications and Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra.

Advising: Supervised PhD students such as Selene Sanchez Flores, Stefanie Pauly, and Steffen Oppermann. Maintained an active research group with postdoctoral researchers and international collaborators.
