Markus Land

Markus Land is a Tenure Track Professor at the Department for Mathematics, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, affiliated with the Algebraic Geometry Working Group. His research bridges algebraic topology, homotopy theory, and K-theory, focusing on their interplay with L-theory and manifold topology. He has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Copenhagen (supported by an EU Marie Curie Fellowship and DFG Grant) and the University of Regensburg, and earned his PhD at the University of Bonn under Wolfgang Lück.

• Education: PhD in Mathematics (University of Bonn, 2016)
• Positions: Postdoctoral (University of Copenhagen, 2019–2022; University of Regensburg, 2016–2019)

Research Interests:
Markus Land explores algebraic topology and homotopy theory, particularly algebraic K-theory, hermitian K-theory, and their connections to L-theory and manifold topology. His work often applies infinity-categories to foundational problems in operator K-theory and geometric topology.

Recent Publications:
His research includes groundbreaking studies on chromatic localization in K-theory, Grothendieck-Witt groups in ring theory, and additivity in cobordism categories. Collaborations with leading mathematicians like Georg Tamme and Ulrich Bunke highlight interdisciplinary approaches to algebraic and geometric problems.

Awards & Grants:

• EU Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (2020–2022)
• DFG Individual Research Grant (2019–2020)

Teaching & Academic Leadership:
He has designed advanced courses including Topology I–V, Algebraic K-Theory, and Condensed Mathematics, emphasizing homotopy theory and infinity-categories. Future initiatives include student seminars on arithmetic and algebraic geometry to foster academic collaboration.

Working Group:
As part of the Algebraic Geometry Working Group at LMU Munich, he contributes to seminars and research projects on arithmetic geometry, manifold classification, and spectral algebra.
