Prof. Dr. Edward Norman Dancer
Field of Research: Analysis In Germany: 01.05.2013 - 31.05.2013 Host's project description Professor Dancer has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of nonlinear phenomena. His work has inspired new areas of research in topics such as the bifuraction of water waves, symmetry breaking, and the dynamics of population growth models and reachtin-diffusion equations. During his stay in Germany, he will focus on the complicated, partially chaotic behaviour of infinite-dumensional dynamical systems and the structure of their equilibria in order to develop new insigts into this fascination world.

Prof. Dr. Marc Levine
Field of Research: Algebra In Germany: 01.07.2009 - Host's project description Marc Levine is a world leader in the field of Algebraic Geometry. His outstanding, innovative contributions to his subject, not least his recent Theory of Algebraic Cobordism, have elicited a huge response and been recognised in numerous awards, including the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s Wolfgang Paul Award in 2001. Levine will become one of the directors of the proposed Institute of Algebra at Duisburg-Essen University, drawing on previous stays in Essen. Levine will thus contribute to covering a broad palette of mathematical methods which will be unique in Germany and, indeed, can only be found at very few other places in the world.

Prof. Dr. Marc Noy
Field of Research: Combination theory, graph theory In Germany: 01.04.2013 - 31.07.2013 Host's project description Professor Noy is an international authority in enumerative combinatorics and topological graph theory. Today a large extent of what we know about the typical structure of a planar graph is owed to work that was done or inspired by him. He has solved several long standing open problems,established innovative methods and opened up new perspectives for the whole field. During his stay in Germany, he intends to continue his work on random graphs from classes which are defined by structural side constraints such as geometrically characterised graphs and graphs not containing a fixed minor.

Prof. Dr. Batmanathan Dayanand Reddy
Field of Research: Numerical analysis In Germany: 01.05.2013 - 30.06.2013 Host's project description Professor Batmanathan Dayanand Reddy from the University of Cape Town , South Africa Professor Reddy is well-known for his outstanding research in mathematics and mechanics. Based on his strong mathematical background he developed the mathematical theory of inelastic materials and structures. This together with his work on mixed finite elements, where he combined mechanics and mathematics to gained new insights, had a significant impact on the discipline of mechanics and beyond. As newly elected President of the Academy of Science of South Africa he develops research-based solutions to the specific engineering challenges facing transition and development within South Africa. During his stay in Germany, Professor Reddy intends to work on gradient plasticity theories that allow a better description of complex material behavior. Professor Reddy is hosted by Professor Wriggers at the Institute for Continuum Mechanics at the Leibniz Universität Hannover.

Prof. Dr. Donald B. Rubin
Field of Research: Statistics In Germany: 01.05.2013 - 30.06.2013 Host's project description Professor Donald B. Rubin is one of the leading statisticians of our time. He has made important contributions to the study of missing data and causality. He developed the technique of multiple imputation, for example, and his model of causal inference is now referred to as the Rubin causal model. Professor Rubin's work has a tremendous impact on how researchers use statistics in applied work. In Germany, he will explore new methods for multiply imputing panel data and work on using his approach of principal stratification for measuring the causal effect of active labour market policies.
