Biography

Friedrich Eisenbrand is a full professor of mathematics at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) since March 2008, previously serving at the University of Paderborn. His research primarily focuses on discrete optimization, specifically on algorithms complexity, integer programming, and number geometry. He is known for his contributions to efficient algorithms for integer programming and fixed dimension theory, which are critical for solving large-scale industrial optimization problems. Eisenbrand's work is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, and he has received accolades such as the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Award from the German Research Foundation in 2004 and the Otto Hahn Medal from the Max Planck Society in 2001. In his teaching career, he has supervised various PhD students and offers courses in linear algebra and discrete optimization.
