Who I am and what I do

I am a mathematician/mathematical physicist and a researcher in mathematics education at the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna. I am a member of the research group DiANA (Differential Algebras and Nonlinear Analysis) in the Analysis, Geometric Structures and Mathematical Physics section of the department. My research interests include: mathematical physics/mathematical general relativity: spacetime singularities, cosmic censorship, exact radiative spacetimes, impulsivge gravitational waves mathematics education: professional knowledge of teachers, beliefs on teaching and learning mathematics (applied) mathematics: generalized functions, theory of PDE, kinetic theory, time frequency analysis & modulation spaces

Also I am member and treasurer of the IAGF (The International Association for Generalized Functions), a life-time member of ISAAC (The International Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation), and a member of GDM (The German Society of Didactics of Mathematics).

My teaching includes a variety of courses in several areas of mathematics reaching from general first-year-courses to specialized courses and seminars in analysis, PDE and geometry, as well as major courses in the teacher’s training programme

I am a supervisor both in the

• Vienna Master Class Mathematical Physics (MCMP) which is run jointly by the Faculties of Mathematics and Physics of Vienna University, and
• Vienna School of Mathematics (VSM) which is a new joint enterprise of the University of Vienna and the Technical University Vienna.

I have co-authored the general introductory book Einführung in das Mathematische Arbeiten (German,Introduction into mathematical methodology) with Hermann Schichl. Together we are running a service web page accompanying the book. We have been awarded the UNIVIE Teaching Award 2013 of Vienna University and the Ars Docendi 2016, the Austrian National Award in University Teaching.
