On October 18, the long-time member of the Center for Mathematical Economics Prof. Dr. Tim Hellmann, who had joined the University of Southampton earlier this month, was bid farewell at a reception.

Tim, most recently at the Center as assistant and junior professor, became a member of the IMW after completing a Master’s degree at the University of Georgia. Following a diploma degree (M.Sc. equiv.) in Mathematical Economics and a doctoral dissertation in Game Theory and Network Economics, Tim received the venia legendi in Economics in 2018.

IMW director Prof. Dr. Frank Riedel and deputy director Prof. Dr. Herbert Dawid acknowledged Tim’s commitment as a supervisor of dissertations and theses as well as in teaching and academic self-administration. They emphasized how much Tim’s research, which both covers classical areas of the IMW’s work and has opened up new fields, has shaped the Center and, through publications and lectures at home and abroad, has contributed greatly to the perception of Bielefeld as a scientific location in general and the IMW in particular.
