Erhard Neher

Professor Erhard Neher is affiliated with the University of Ottawa and has been associated with the Atlantic Algebra Centre and the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences. He delivered a mini-course titled 'Quadratic Forms over Fields' in November 2023 at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The course covered advanced topics in quadratic forms, including symmetric bilinear forms, Witt rings, and algebraic extensions.

His research interests focus on algebraic structures, with emphasis on quadratic form theory, Witt rings, and their applications in fields of characteristic not 2. The course materials referenced key texts by Elman, Lam, and Scharlau, indicating expertise in these areas.

No specific grants, awards, or advisees are mentioned in the provided text. His work bridges foundational algebraic concepts with modern developments in quadratic form theory.
