Lecturer Intro
He studied mathematics and computer science in Zürich, receiving a PhD from ETH Zürich in 1997. His PhD thesis, titled Cyclotomy of rings and primality testing, was written under the direction of Erwin Engeler and Hendrik Lenstra. After his first studies, during close to 20 years, he worked in Zürich in the industry, first as a numerical analyst, then as a developer and consultant in IT-Security: cryptogrphy and fingerprint-identification. After 2000, during five years, he did research at the University of Paderborn, Germany, where he proved the long standing 'Conjecture of Catalan', in 2002. In 2005 he received a Wolkswagen Foundation professorship at the University of Göttingen, where he has been a professor ever since.
During the last decade he specialized in abelian Iwasawa Theory and developed new methods for the investigation of open problems in the domain.
