Marc Kirch

Prof. Marc Kirch is a Professor of Technomathematics at Berlin University of Technology, affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. He holds leadership roles including Academic Senate member (since 2025), former Dean of Faculty II (2018–2020), and Vice Dean (2020–2021). His expertise spans applied mathematics, theoretical physics, and optical engineering.

Education:

• PhD in Physics (2006), Ruhr University Bochum – Dissertation: 'From QCD Evolution to Noncompact Spin Chains'
• Diploma in Physics (2002), Ruhr University Bochum – Thesis: 'Baryonic Form Factors at Large Virtuality'

Research Interests: Focuses on mathematical modeling, complex systems, and optical design for semiconductor microlithography. His work integrates stochastic optimization, Monte Carlo methods, and nonlinear dynamics, with applications in EUV illumination optics and quantum physics.

Publications: Over 10 patents (2007–2013) in optical engineering for EUV lithography, alongside foundational physics papers on QCD evolution and parton distributions. His recent work emphasizes advanced illumination systems and facet element design.

Awards: No explicit awards mentioned, but significant industry-academic collaboration via patents with Carl Zeiss SMT AG.

Grants & Advising: No explicit grants listed. Advised students are not documented here, but teaches courses in mathematics, optimization, and engineering at bachelor's and master's levels.
