Biography

Stephan Tillmann is a Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney. He is a member of the Geometry and Topology Analysis Research Group. His primary research interests lie in geometric topology with a focus on low-dimensional manifolds. His work incorporates techniques from algebraic geometry, hyperbolic projective geometry, geometric group theory, representations of finitely generated groups, differential geometry, and tropical geometry. The main objective of his current research is to understand the relationship between triangulations and geometric structures of surfaces and 3-manifolds, with a view towards new topological results. His work has practical applications in algorithms and group theory. Additionally, Tillmann's research is aligned with the Faculty of Science's research strengths, which include understanding the universe and fundamental laws of nature, complex systems, and cultivating scientific capability.
