Markus Pflaum is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research integrates topology, geometric analysis, and noncommutative geometry, with a focus on stratified spaces, quantization theory, and applications in mathematical physics. He has published foundational work on Lie groupoids, deformation quantization of singular phase spaces, and the analytic properties of stratified spaces. Education: Ph.D. from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (1995). Research Interests: Topology of stratified spaces, geometric analysis, noncommutative geometry, Poisson geometry, quantization theory, and mathematical physics. His work often bridges abstract mathematical frameworks and physical applications. Recent Publications: Focus on index theorems for Lie groupoids, homotopy theory of semi-analytic sets, and de Rham theorems for stratified spaces. His articles demonstrate consistent innovation in applying analytical methods to geometric structures. Teaching: Current courses include Hilbert Spaces and Quantum Theory (MATH 4810/5810) and Analysis I (MATH 3001). Projects: Founder of Libri Mathematicae , a collaborative platform for mathematical documentation, and contributor to the CRing Project on commutative algebra.
