New editor appointed

Matteo Petrera has been an editor and researcher at zbMATH Open, Mathematics Department, FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure, since 2020. His work focuses on editorial workflows and on the integration, cross-linking, and indexing of mathematical research data. In this role, he contributed to the transition of zbMATH to a fully open service, which became effective in January 2021.

He obtained his PhD in physics (mathematical physics) from Roma Tre University in 2007, after completing his degree in physics there. In the same year, he was awarded a Marie Curie European Fellowship to conduct research at the Technical University of Munich, Department of Mathematics. From 2009 to 2020, he held a research position at the Technical University of Berlin, Department of Mathematics, where his responsibilities included research, teaching, and the supervision of undergraduate and doctoral students. Beginning in 2012, he participated for two consecutive funding periods in the project Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). His research interests were in the theory of integrable systems, both finite- and infinite-dimensional, in continuous and discrete time. His work was situated at the intersection of dynamical systems, geometry, and algebra.
