Christian Stump

Christian Stump is a Professor for Algebraic Combinatorics at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum since 2018 and coordinator of the DFG priority program Combinatorial Synergies. His research focuses on algebraic and geometric combinatorics, particularly in Coxeter groups, cluster algebras, noncrossing partitions, and hyperplane arrangements. He leads the Research Team Stump and collaborates with institutions like Goethe-Universität Frankfurt and Universitat de Barcelona.

• Research interests: Algebraic Combinatorics, Cluster Algebras, Coxeter Groups, Subword Complexes, Noncrossing Partitions
• Current projects: Machine learning combinatorial statistics, Combinatorial Polytope Theory

His recent work includes studies on non-crossing partitions, Hodge filtrations for reflection groups, and central limit theorems for permutation statistics. He has supervised PhD students in topics ranging from brick polyhedra to matroid complexes and contributed to computational tools like the FindStat database and SageMath.

Scientific Awards:

• DFG Heisenberg Fellowship (2017-2018)
• Humboldt Research Award (2023)
• Simons Fellowship (2023)

As a principal investigator, he has secured over €1.2 million in DFG grants, including leadership of the project "Combinatorial Polytope Theory" (2024) and coordination of the SPP2458 program. He actively contributes to editorial boards of Electronic Journal of Combinatorics and Combinatorial Theory, and organizes conferences like Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC).
