Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen

Prof. Dr. Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen is a University Professor (W3) for Algebra and Number Theory at the Institute of Mathematics, University of Augsburg, since 2008. He has held visiting positions at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and the University of Cambridge, and served as a Junior Professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (2004–2008). Since October 2021, he has been Vice Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology (MNTF).

• Education: Diploma in Mathematics (2000) from the University of Cologne, preceded by preliminary diplomas in physics (1997) and mathematics (1997). His doctoral studies (2000–2002) under Prof. Daniel Huybrechts focused on characteristic classes and Rozansky-Witten invariants of hyperkähler manifolds.

His research spans algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and mathematical physics, with a focus on hyperkähler manifolds, Hilbert schemes of points, irregular singular connections, and Stokes phenomena. He has contributed to the understanding of Rozansky-Witten invariants, Chern numbers, and topological aspects of differential equations.

Recent publications include works on Betti structures of hypergeometric equations (2022) and Stokes matrices for confluent hypergeometric equations (2022), reflecting his ongoing exploration of differential equations' geometric underpinnings. Earlier works address Hochschild homology, equivariant cohomology, and operads in algebraic contexts.

His computational contributions include software demonstrations for elliptic curve arithmetic, Collatz sequences, and Google Matrix simulations. Technical expertise includes programming languages (TeX, PHP, HTML) and systems (Unix/Linux, Zope/Plone).
