Martin Winter, PhD

I am a mathematician. I am Dirichlet fellow at TU Berlin and guest researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. I am researching in discrete geometry, real algebraic geometry, geometric constraint systems, semi-definite optimization, spectral graph theory, algebraic combinatorics and low-dimensional topology. Most recently I am studying the Wachspress Geometry of convex polytopes. I am also working on the formalization of polytope theory in Lean.
I am principal investigator in the priority program “Combinatorial Synergies” and my project is “Wachspress Coordinates - a Bridge between Algebra, Geometry and Combinatorics”.
Before, I was postdoc at the University of Warwick (UK). I got my PhD from TU Chemnitz (Germany) in 2021.
What’s new
- I am currently teaching the course “Rigidity Theory for Frameworks and Polytopes” at TU Berlin.
- I am currently visiting the Combinatorial Group at the Czech Academy of Sciences (until January 15). I will speak in their seminar on January 14.
What’s coming
- I will be visiting the group “Algorithmic Mathematics” at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg on January 22 – 23, 2025. I will speak in their seminar on January 22.
- March 10 – 21, 2025 I will be visiting ICERM during the special semester on “Geometry of Materials, Packings and Rigid Frameworks”, and will take part in the workshop “Matroids, Rigidity, and Algebraic Statistics” (March 17 - 21, 2025)
- Tom Baumbach (TU Berlin) will present our joined research on “Polytopes with low degree adjoints” at Combinatorial Synergies East in Leipzig (March 19 – 21, 2025).
