Carl O. R. Lutz

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the institute of mathematics of the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin).

Prior to my current position, I was an investigator in the A01 project of the collaborative reserch center SFB/TRR 109 “Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics” and a member of the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS). I received my doctoral degree (2024) in mathematics at TU Berlin advised by Alexander Bobenko.

My research is in discrete differential geometry (DDG), which aims to identify structure-preserving discretizations of the smooth theory. In particular, I am engaged in the study of discrete conformal equivalence theories, circle packings/patterns and their relationship to the geometry of polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space. Recently, I have taken up interest in the connections of circle patterns to complex projective structures and statistical mechanics.
