Exeter Fellow to spend a year as visiting scientist at Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn
Exeter Fellow in Pure Mathematics Professor Cornelia Druţu has been invited to the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn as Visiting Scientist.
This is not the first time Professor Druţu has worked with the Max Planck Institute (MPIM) having previously been invited as a visiting researcher. Working with a group of collaborators located at the MPIM, Professor Druţu’s project was part of a larger effort to reformulate results related to the classical notion of curvature in the context of graphs and groups.
The Max Planck Society was founded in 1948 as the successor of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society. With its 84 Max Planck Institutes and facilities, the MPIM conducts basic research in the natural sciences, life sciences, and humanities and is the international flagship for German science. It is therefore a huge achievement for Professor Druţu to be invited back to continue working with the MPIM.
Professor Druţu is no stranger when it comes to achievements in her field, after being named the Emmy Noether Guest Professor for the University of Göttingen in 2023. The Faculty of Mathematics within the University of Göttingen elects an outstanding mathematician annually to take up the post. The scholar then spends three to four weeks in Göttingen, presenting and discussing their current research.
Exeter College warmly congratulates Professor Druţu on a well-deserved achievement.
