Research Centre for Mathematical Modelling (RCM²)

Alexey Garber is Associate Professor at the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Texas, USA. His interests are discrete geometry and combinatorics with focus on parallelohedra theory, geometrical properties of quasiperiodic point sets, and measure equipartitions.
He recently won the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellowship for experienced researchers, and will spend a total of 9 month as research visitor at the RCM2. The visits will be spread over 3 years, for 3 month each year starting in 2021 (delayed from 2020). He visited Bielefeld University before, for instance in 2013 as the winner of a research stipend jointly funded by DAAD and MSU (Moscow State University).

Michael Coons is Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the California State University Chico, USA. His research has connections to number theory, combinatorics, theoretical computer science, analysis, algebra, and dynamical systems.
In 2017 he won the Mahony-Neumann-Room Prize of the Australian Mathematical Society, jointly with Jason Bell and Kevin Hare, for the best publication in the Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society in the years 2011-2016. From 2019 until 2023 he was an Associate Editor of the Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society.
