Thomas Zehrt

Dr. Thomas Zehrt is a University Lecturer at the University of Basel's Faculty of Business and Economics, specializing in Mathematics and related disciplines. He teaches courses such as Mathematics 1, Advanced Mathematics for Economics, and Statistics, primarily targeting economics and business students. His research focuses on hyperbolic geometry, Coxeter groups, and discrete mathematics, with notable contributions to the study of hyperbolic manifolds and geometric group theory.

Education: He holds a Diplom in Mathematics from the University of Göttingen (1998) and a PhD from the University of Basel (2003), with his dissertation exploring polytopal complexes in spaces of constant curvature.

Research Interests: His work delves into hyperbolic polytopes, Coxeter group structures, growth functions, and their applications in geometric topology. He collaborates with institutions like the Research Group Ruth Kellerhals and contributes to platforms such as the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.

Advising & Grants: No specific advising roles or grants are listed, though his teaching and research activities suggest active engagement in academic mentorship. He maintains a lab/teaching focus through course materials and Geogebra integrations.
