Thorsten Hertl

Thorsten Hertl is a Researcher at the Department of Pure Mathematics, Mathematical Institute, Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg. His work bridges algebraic topology and differential geometry, focusing on the topology of spaces of positive scalar curvature metrics and G2 structures.

• Research Collaborations: Member of the Geometry at Infinity focus group and the Simons Collaboration Project on Special Holonomy in Geometry, Analysis, and Physics.
• Teaching: Instructed courses like Analysis III, Proseminar on Matrix Groups, and Seminar on Operads in Algebra, Topology, and Quantum Mechanics.

His publications address abstract homotopy theory, geometric applications, and moduli spaces. Awards include the Ferdinand von Lindemann Prize and an Honorary Doctorate.
