Franziskus Wiesnet

I am a researcher in the Institute of Discrete Mathematics and Geometry at the TU Wien. Currently I am working as project manager on the project "Material Interpretation" funded by the Austrian Science Fund - FWF.

From 2012 to 2017 I have studied maths at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. From 2017 to 2021 I did my doctorate in mathematics at the Universities of Trento and Verona and since 2019 also at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. My supervisors were Peter Schuster and Helmut Schwichtenberg.


  News

On December 18, 2024, I will give a talk at the Computational Logic Seminar at the Institute of Discrete Mathematics and Geometry of TU Wien titled "Material Interpretation and Constructive Analysis of Maximal Ideals in ℤ[X]". This talk provides a good overview of my current research and my future plans.


  Research

My main areas of research are proof theory, constructive mathematics, and formal system. To date, most of my papers are concerned with one or more of the following topics: Other fields of research that I am interested in are:

  Hobbys

Poker

I enjoy playing poker online or at small live tournaments.

The Dark Eye

The Dark Eye is a pen-and-paper fantasy role-playing game similar to Dungeons & Dragons. I enjoy being the game master for adventures with my friends and colleagues.

YouTube Videos

On my YouTube channel LogicLab I share tutorials and scientific lectures that provide insights into my research work. Topics such as proof assistants, constructive mathematics, and more are presented in accessible videos and talks.
