Uwe Semmelmann

Uwe Semmelmann is a Teaching Professor and Dean of Faculty 8 at the University of Stuttgart, leading the Institute of Geometry and Topology as Chair of Geometry. His academic roles include serving on the Examination Board for Teaching Professions and overseeing the Mathematics department's administrative and academic functions.

He specializes in Geometric Analysis, focusing on Riemannian manifolds, Killing spinors, Quaternion Kähler geometry, and geometric flows. His research bridges differential geometry with algebraic topology and mathematical physics, addressing topics like scalar curvature rigidity, Einstein deformations, and special holonomy structures.

• Grants: Principal Investigator of DFG Project SE 933/5-1 on nearly parallel G2 geometry (2020–2023).
• Teaching: Recently taught courses on Kähler manifolds, Riemannian geometry, and topology.

His work spans over 50 publications, emphasizing geometric stability, spectral analysis, and geometric structures on symmetric spaces. He supervises PhD students in geometric analysis and has mentored numerous theses on topics like Einstein metrics, Sasakian manifolds, and spin geometry.
