Andreas Thom is a German mathematician, working on geometric group theory, algebraic topology, ergodic theory of group actions, and operator algebras. [1]

Education and career

Thom received in 2000 his Certificate of Advanced Study in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge. In 2003 he obtained his doctorate ( Promotion) from the University of Münster with thesis advisor Joachim Cuntz and thesis Connective E-Theory and Bivariant Homology for C*-Algebra. [2] He was a Postdoc 2003–2005 at the University of Münster, and 2005–2007 at the University of Göttingen. From 2007 to 2009 he was a junior professor for Geometrical Aspects of Pure Mathematics at the University of Göttingen. After being promoted to assistant professor in Göttingen, he moved in 2009 to become a full professor for Theoretical Mathematics at the University of Leipzig. In 2014 he moved to a full professorship in geometry at TU Dresden. [3]

Awards and honors

  • In 2011, Thom received an ERC Starting Grant No. 277728 Geometry and Analysis of Group Rings. [4]
  • In 2016, he received an ERC Consolidator Grant No. 681207 Groups, Dynamics, and Approximation. [5]
  • In 2018, Thom was an invited speaker for a talk Finitary approximations of groups and their applications at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro.
