معرفی
Christian Liedtke is a Full Professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) in the Department of Mathematics. He has held this position since 2022, following roles as Associate Professor (2017-2022) and Tenure Track Assistant Professor (2013-2017) at TUM. Previously, he conducted research at Stanford University (2009-2011) and the University of Bonn. He served as Vice Dean (2018-2022) and Research Dean (2019-2022) of Mathematics at TUM.
Education includes:
- Mathematics studies at University of Göttingen and University of Warwick (1996-2001)
- Doctoral studies under Professor Faltings at Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn (PhD 2004)
- Habilitation (2011)
His research centers on algebraic geometry, particularly the classification of algebraic surfaces (K3 surfaces, surfaces of general type in positive characteristic), elliptic curves, rational curves, and fundamental groups. His work bridges classical, complex, and arithmetic geometry, with recent emphasis on moduli spaces, deformations, and arithmetic analogs of classical theories.
Publication analysis shows consistent focus on K3 surfaces, rational curves, and arithmetic geometry in positive characteristic. Recent articles explore group schemes, quotient singularities, and non-commutative resolutions, reflecting collaborations across algebraic geometry, number theory, and commutative algebra.
Awards and honors:
- Goldener Zirkel Teaching Award (2025, 2020, 2017)
- ERC Consolidator Grant (2015)
- DFG Research Grant (2009)
Grants and advising activities include leadership of ERC Consolidator Grant 'K3CRYSTAL' (2016-2021) and multiple DFG grants. He directs a research group with postdocs and PhD students, focusing on arithmetic moduli spaces and supersingular varieties. Team members have included Dr. Frank Gounelas, Dr. Oliver Gregory, and PhD candidates Kai Behrens and Daniel Boada.
