Bernhard Burgeth

Bernhard Burgeth is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Saarland University since 2009. He joined the Department of Mathematics in 2002 and has held positions at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, McGill University, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and the Technical University Eindhoven. His research spans mathematical image processing, tensor field analysis, and numerical methods for PDEs.

• Education: BSc, MSc (Diplom), and PhD in Mathematics from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg; Habilitation at Saarland University.

Research Interests: Focus on model-theoretic aspects of image processing, visualization of multivalued images (e.g., tensor fields), mathematical morphology, matrix analysis, and numerical simulations for hydrogen combustion. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with computational applications.

Grants: Includes a Ph.D. grant from the Bavarian State Government (1990-1992), a DFG research grant at McGill University (1997/98), and a research grant from the Saarland Ministry of Economy and Science (2012/13) for the TensorVis project.

• Scientific Awards: Recipient of the Landespreis Hochschullehre (2010) and the Department Teaching Award (WiSe 2016/17).

Teaching Responsibilities: Courses on mathematical morphology, image processing, probabilistic methods, integral equations, calculus, linear algebra, geometry, and probability/statistics. Recent lectures include Lineare Algebra: Theorie und Anwendungen (4+2), Geometrie(n) (4+2), and Wahrscheinlichkeit und Statistik (4+2).
