Professor Stefan Glock

Professor Stefan Glock has been Assistant Professor of Discrete Mathematics at the University of Passau since September 2022. Prior to this, he spent three years researching at the Institute for Theoretical Studies at ETH Zurich after completing his doctorate at the University of Birmingham with the thesis 'Decompositions of graphs and hypergraphs'. In his research, he deals with discrete mathematical structures and primarily investigates their asymptotic properties.

"I've always been interested in mathematics. The longer a problem has resisted a solution, the more appealing I find it to deal with it. You usually realize relatively quickly why it is so difficult. But sometimes you have an idea that nobody has had before, and then it gets exciting! Of course, even more important than solving a specific problem are the new methods that you have to develop for it, which can then have far-reaching effects on the entire field of research."

More on his Research
