معرفی
Prof. Dr. Christian Stump holds the W2-Professorship for Algebraic Combinatorics at the Faculty of Mathematics, Ruhr-Universität Bochum. He coordinates the DFG Priority Program Combinatorial Synergies and actively engages in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of combinatorics, algebra, and geometry. His team includes
- Jun.-Prof. Dr. Marie Brandenburg
- PhD students Elena Hoster, Nupur Jain, and Federico Lazzeri
- Former members
Research Interests span algebraic combinatorics, cluster algebras, non-crossing partitions, subword complexes, and machine learning applications in mathematics. His work explores the deep connections between combinatorial structures and algebraic geometry, particularly through reflection groups and Catalan theory.
Scientific Trends from his recent articles include
- Non-crossing and m-divisible partition analysis
- Hyperplane arrangement topology
- Matroid theory and lattice paths
- AI-assisted mathematical discovery
- Combinatorial geometry of polyhedra and complexes
Scientific Awards include
- DFG Heisenberg Fellowship (2017-18)
- CRM-ISM Fellowship (2009-11)
Grants & Projects highlight
- PI for DFG Priority Program Combinatorial Synergies (€473,360)
- Heisenberg Fellowship project on Noncrossing phenomena (€585,300)
- DFG Research Grant for Coxeter-Catalan Combinatorics (€324,900)
Labs & Collaborations include the Combinatorial Synergies program, the FindStat.org combinatorial statistics database, and collaborations with institutions in Frankfurt, Barcelona, and Berlin.
