معرفی
Wolfgang K. Schief is a Professor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia. He previously served as Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics. His academic history includes positions as Professor at Technische Universität Berlin (Germany), Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at UNSW, and Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow.
His research spans integrable systems, soliton theory, differential geometry (continuous/discrete), continuum mechanics, and general relativity. Key themes include geometric aspects of nonlinear equations, discretization methods, and applications in physics. Recent work emphasizes discrete differential geometry, integrable discretizations, and connections between geometry and physical models.
Professor Schief's publications (2015–2019) predominantly explore discrete integrable geometry, surface theory, and geometric mechanics. Trends include advanced discretization techniques, projective/minimal surfaces, circle complexes, and multi-dimensional consistency in heavenly-type equations.
