Tobias Rossmann
About
I am a Lecturer in Mathematics
in the School
of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
at the University of Galway.
Research interests
My research is in the field of algebra, mostly of the asymptotic or computational kind.
In recent years, my main focus has been on zeta functions arising from
algebraic counting problems such as the enumeration of subgroups,
representations, linear orbits, or conjugacy classes.
