Gert-Martin Greuel received his PhD in mathematics in 1973 from the
University of Goettingen and the Habilitation in 1980 from the University
of Bonn. Since 2002 he is the director of the Mathematisches
Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach.
He is Professor for mathematics at the University of Kaiserslautern
since 1981 where he is heading the research group for
Algebraic Geometry, Computer Algebra and Singularity Theory.
His research interests are Singularity Theory and the development and
implementation of algorithms to solve mathematical problems by using Computer
Algebra. Together with G. Pfister and H. Schönemann, he develops the
internationally widespread Computer Algebra system SINGULAR which is used
in theoretical research as well as in applying Algebraic Geometry and
Computer Algebra to real problems coming from industry.
He is Editor-in-Chief of Oberwolfach Workshop Reports (OWR), Associate Editor
of Revista Mathematica Complutense and member of several international
evaluation committees. Since 1993 he is head of the Center for Computer
Algebra, a scientific institution of the departments of Mathematics,
Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering at the University of
Kaiserslautern. Gert-Martin Greuel is scientific advisor of the ITWM
in the field of Computer Algebra.
