Andreas Kollross

Andreas Kollross is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Geometry and Topology. His research focuses on differential geometry, Lie groups, symmetric spaces, and polar actions. He has contributed significantly to understanding geometric structures on manifolds, including exceptional Lie algebras, cohomogeneity, and non-negatively curved metrics. In 2024, he received the prestigious Publication Award for his impactful work. Kollross teaches advanced courses in differential geometry, topology, and geometric analysis, and has supervised multiple theses on topics like polar actions and homogeneous Einstein spaces. His work bridges algebraic, geometric, and topological approaches to solve complex problems in global analysis and geometric group actions.
