Stephan Mescher

Welcome to my academic homepage. I am a mathematician working as a permanent research associate at the Institute of Mathematics, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, in the group of Prof. Dr. Nils Waterstraat.

My research is in the fields of geometry and topology of manifolds, with a particular focus on topological complexity and topological methods in the calculus of variations. You can find more about my work, teaching and talks using the menu above; the site is also available in German.
