Thorsten Holm

apl. Prof. Dr. Thorsten Holm is an Associate Professor at the Institute for Algebra, Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics at Leibniz University Hannover. He is also a member of the Riemann Center for Geometry and Physics. His research focuses on representation theory of groups and algebras, derived categories, Hochschild cohomology, cluster algebras, and frieze patterns. Holm has held academic positions since 1991, including roles at the University of Leeds and Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. He obtained his doctorate in Mathematics from the University of Essen in 1994 and habilitation from Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg in 2002. His work spans algebraic structures, combinatorics, and geometric representations, with over 60 publications in peer-reviewed journals and books on algebra and representation theory.

His educational background includes a diploma in Mathematics from Goethe University Frankfurt and extensive research stays at institutions like the University of Oxford and Cambridge. Holm’s recent research emphasizes non-commutative friezes, modular arithmetic, and derived equivalences in cluster categories. He contributes to both theoretical advancements and pedagogical materials, such as textbooks on algebra and modular arithmetic.
