معرفی
Jan Reimann is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University, part of the Eberly College of Science. He has been with Penn State since 2010, progressing from Assistant Professor to his current role. Prior to this, he held positions at the University of California, Berkeley, as a Morrey Assistant Professor (2007-2010) and Visiting Assistant Professor (2006-2007). His academic journey began at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, where he earned a Diplom in Mathematics (1997) and a PhD (2004) with a thesis on computability and fractal dimension.
**Education:**
- PhD in Mathematics, University of Heidelberg, 2004
- Diplom in Mathematics, University of Heidelberg, 1997
**Research Interests:**
Reimann's work bridges mathematical logic, algorithmic information theory, and fractal geometry. Key areas include computability theory, randomness in dynamical systems, measure-theoretic approaches to fractals, and applications of algorithmic randomness in number theory. His research often explores the interplay between computational complexity and geometric measure theory, with contributions to effective dimension, Hausdorff dimension, and Diophantine approximation.
**Awards & Honors:**
- Don Rung Teaching Award, Penn State Mathematics Department, 2015
- Distinguished Teaching Award, UC Berkeley Mathematics Department, 2009
- Doktorandenkolloquium Award (2004), recognizing top German PhD students in mathematical logic
**Grants & Projects:**
- TLT Faculty Fellowship (2020-2022): "Learning Math with Jupyter Notebooks"
- NSF Award DMS-1201270 (2012-2015): "Computability and Randomness in Dynamical Systems"
- John Templeton Foundation Grant (2008-2010): "Randomness and the Infinite"
**Teaching & Mentorship:**
Reimann has taught a range of courses, including graduate-level logic, set theory, and undergraduate calculus. He has supervised numerous students’ theses, including PhD advisees such as Mingyang Li (2020) and John Pardo (2017), as well as master’s and honors students in areas like fractal dimension and Ramsey theory.
**Professional Contributions:**
He has organized conferences like the Colloquium Logicum and contributed to editorial work for journals such as the Annals of Pure and Applied Logic. Active in academic service, he chairs Penn State’s Graduate Council and reviews for leading journals in logic and computer science.
