Lei Zhao, a postdoctoral researcher and leader of an Emmy Noether Junior Research Group at the Institute of Mathematics, has been awarded funding as part of the Heisenberg Programme.
The Heisenberg programme is open to researchers who have already fulfilled the prerequisites for a tenured professorship. It enables them to continue working on their own high-quality research projects and therefore continue to develop their reputation within a five-year period, thus preparing for an academic leadership role. With this funding, which is a great honour, Zhao can continue to carry out research on topics he has been successfully researching for years. “In Augsburg, I have conducted research on the application of new developments in symplectic topology to problems in celestial mechanics. Celestial mechanics is an established area of research in mathematics, whereas symplectic topology has only recently been developed. I am looking forward to discovering unexpected connections between these two areas of research.”

Lei Zhao first studied at Nanjing University (2004 to 2009) and then completed a doctorate at Université Paris Diderot (2009 to 2013). He conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Groningen from 2013 to 2015. Following this, he worked as a researcher at the Chern Institute of Mathematics at Nankai University in China, which included a research stay in Augsburg. He has led the Emmy Noether Junior Research Group since October 2017 under the project title “Symplectic Geometry and N-body Problem.”

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
