Self-introduction

My name is Martin Skrodzki and I was born in Germany. I studied computer science and mathematics from 2008 to 2011 at TU Dortmund University in Germany where I obtained two Bachelor's degrees. Afterwards, I spend two terms on a Fulbright travel grant at the Texas A&M International University in Laredo, Texas, USA continuing with graduate studies in mathematics. I finishes these with a Master's degree at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany in 2014. My focus in the coursework and in my Master's thesis was on discrete geometry and discrete mathematics.

In early 2015, I started work on my PhD with Prof. Polthier at Freie Universität Berlin in the group "Mathematical Geometry Processing". My thesis, titled "Neighborhood Data Structures, Manifold Properties, and Processing of Point Set Surfaces" covers three topics all centered in the context of point set processing. Please find the thesis via the link shown above. I graduated with the title of "Dr. rer. nat" (doctor of the natural sciences) in July 2019. Immediately after my graduation, I started a first postdoc at the Institute of Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), Brown University, Providence, RI, USA. The position was part of the topical semester program "Illustrating Mathematics" which was concerned about finding new, exciting visualizations of mathematical structures and objects, see the link shown above for some of the results obtained.

My research interests are set between computer science and mathematics. I am currently very interested in visualization of high-dimensional data via dimension-reduction methods. Memberships in the Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics (SIAM), the Solid Modeling Association (SMA), and Eurographics (EG) form my professional network. Finally, I am also an associate editor of the Journal of Mathematics and the Arts (JMA).ience and mathematics.
