معرفی
Andreas M. Hinz is a full Professor at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) with a secondary affiliation as redni profesor at the University of Maribor. His academic home is the Mathematical Institute at LMU, where he specializes in analysis, discrete mathematics, and mathematical modeling.
His research focuses on partial differential equations, spectral theory of differential operators, and discrete mathematics—particularly the Tower of Hanoi theory and Sierpiński graphs. He employs classical analytic, functional analytic, and numerical methods, with significant cross-disciplinary applications in neuropsychology and cranio-maxillofacial surgery modeling.
Recent publications (2016-2022) demonstrate strong emphasis on combinatorial graph theory, with 80% focusing on Hanoi/Sierpiński graphs, metric properties, and puzzle mathematics. Interdisciplinary themes connect discrete structures with neuropsychology applications and historical analysis of mathematical puzzles.
Scientific Awards:
- Second Prize, Poster Competition, International Congress of Mathematicians (2006) for "From London to Hanoi and back—graphs for neuropsychology"
He leads collaborations with neuropsychology researchers on tower puzzle modeling and previously secured international grants (DAAD/British Council) for spectral theory projects. Though no longer teaching at LMU, he maintains active research groups in discrete mathematics.
