Michael Cuntz

Prof. Michael Cuntz is a Professor at the Institute of Algebra, Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics at Leibniz University Hannover, affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. He holds roles such as Deputy Chairperson of the Admissions Board for Teacher Training Courses and Faculty Information Officer (FIO). His research focuses on algebraic structures involving reflections, including Weyl groupoids, simplicial arrangements, complex reflection groups, and frieze patterns. He is a member of the Riemann Center for Geometry and Physics.

Education: Studied mathematics at the University of Heidelberg (1996–2002) and the University of Paris VII (1999–2000). Professional milestones include his professorship at Leibniz University since 2013. Research projects encompass four key areas: Weyl groupoids/Nichols algebras, simplicial arrangements/Terao's conjecture, complex reflection groups/modular data, and cluster algebras/frieze patterns. His work often integrates computational algebra for conjecture exploration.

Publications span over 50 articles, including recent contributions on root systems, singular curves, and frieze patterns. His work bridges algebra, combinatorics, and geometry, with applications in quantum groups and modular tensor categories.
