Georg Loho

Georg Loho is a Visiting Professor at Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin), currently acting as head of the Discrete Geometry and Topological Combinatorics group, substituting for Günter Ziegler. He is on leave from his position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Twente in the Discrete Mathematics & Mathematical Programming group. His academic journey includes postdoctoral roles at the London School of Economics (LSE) and EPFL, supported by an ERC Starting Grant, and a PhD from TU Berlin under Michael Joswig.

Research Interests: Loho focuses on the interplay between discrete geometry, combinatorics, and optimization, with applications in machine learning, data science, and sustainability. His work bridges theoretical foundations and practical applications, including tropical geometry, algorithm design, and mathematical programming.

Articles Trends: Recent publications explore stochastic games, tropical geometry in neural networks, oriented matroids, and optimization algorithms. His work often intersects algebraic geometry, combinatorial optimization, and computational complexity.

Grants and Awards: He secured an ERC Starting Grant (2019–2020) and has been involved in projects like the HIM Trimester Program in Bonn. No explicit awards are listed, but his research contributions are widely recognized in discrete mathematics and optimization.

Teaching: Loho has taught courses on discrete geometry, sustainability in mathematics, and AI applications. He emphasizes innovative pedagogy, including free open-source course materials and sustainability-focused curricula.

Labs/Teams: He leads the Discrete Geometry and Topological Combinatorics group at FU Berlin and collaborates on projects like the MatchTheNet educational game, promoting interactive learning in geometry.
