Summary
Götz Pfeiffer is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Galway with over two decades of academic experience and eleven years in his current senior roles leading research, teaching and departmental administration. His research specializes in computational algebra, representation theory and finite Coxeter groups, with visiting appointments at Cambridge and EPFL reflecting international recognition. He has a strong track record of combining theoretical work with computational and software development from his early postdoctoral work, enabling practical tools for algebraic problems. As former Head of Mathematics he blends leadership and management with active examining and curriculum duties. Trained at RWTH Aachen and ENS, he brings deep formal expertise while remaining engaged in collaborative, computational projects that bridge pure and applied algebra. Colleagues know him for rigorous, detail-oriented research that nevertheless emphasizes implementable algorithms and software.
