Florian Beier

Florian Beier is a Researcher at the Institute of Mathematics, Technical University of Berlin, specializing in Applied Mathematics. Since October 2021, he has served as a research assistant pursuing his Dr. rer. nat. His academic journey includes a Master of Science (2021) and Bachelor of Science (2018), both in Mathematics from TU Berlin, with thesis topics focusing on Optimal Transport and Percolation Theory.

Research interests revolve around Optimal Transport theory, particularly multi-marginal and Gromov-Wasserstein formulations, with applications to mathematical imaging and computational geometry. His work bridges theoretical advancements and practical implementations, addressing challenges in transportation barycenters, entropic regularization, and algorithmic design for complex data analysis.

Notable achievements include the Best Poster Award at the 2022 International Conference on Curves and Surfaces and recognition for academic excellence at TU Berlin's Dies Mathematicus. He actively contributes to conferences and workshops, presenting groundbreaking research on transport operators and barycenter computations.

Current projects involve developing fixpoint iteration methods for Gromov-Wasserstein barycenters and exploring transport kernels for unpaired data analysis. His collaborations span institutions like the University of Tübingen and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to transport problems.
