Short Bio

Carl Lutz is a postdoctoral researcher in the department of mathematics at the University of Luxembourg. He holds a Walter Benjamin Fellowship (2025–2026) from the DFG and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (2026–2028) from the EU. Previously, he was a lecturer at the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) and a researcher in the DFG Collaborative Research Center SFB-TRR 109 “Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics” working within project A01 “Discrete Riemann Surfaces.” There, he focused on decorated discrete conformal equivalence and the related discrete uniformization problems.

Dr. Lutz is an alumnus of the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS), which is part of the DFG Cluster of Excellence Math+. He earned his doctoral degree (2024) and master’s degree (2018) in mathematics from TU Berlin, both with distinction, under the supervision of Alexander Bobenko. His research centers on discrete differential geometry (DDG), with a focus on discrete conformal equivalence, circle packings and patterns, and their connections to the geometry of polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space.
