Biography

Lynn Heller studied economics at the FU Berlin and Mathematics at TU Berlin from 2003-2007 and obtained her PhD in mathematics from Eberhard Karls University Tübingen in 2012. Before joining BIMSA she was juniorprofessor at Leibniz University in Hannover.

For the period 2025-2028 Lynn Heller is serving as a member of the Committee on Electronic Information and Communication (CEIC) of the International Mathematical Union (IMU).

Research Interest

  • I aim at answering differential geometric questions arising in the study of minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces as well as (constrained) Willmore surfaces (in 3−dimensional space forms) by combining techniques from geometric analysis, integrable systems (e.g., Hitchin system) and algebraic geometry (e.g.,Higgs bundles and moduli spaces). Recently, we discovered a surprising connection to number theory, when alternating multiple zeta values naturally appeared in our computations.
