Newly Appointed
Linda Kleist was appointed Professor of Theoretical Computer Science (pay scale group W2) at the Faculty of Science.
She previously worked as a research assistant in the algorithms division at TU Braunschweig. She started her studies with a bachelor’s degree in natural sciences in the information society. This was followed by a master's degree in mathematics and a doctorate in discrete mathematics at TU Berlin.
In addition to stays abroad during both her school and university studies, she also worked for several months as a visiting researcher at the Basic Algorithms Research Lab of the University of Copenhagen and the Geometric Computing Group of Utrecht University.In her research, she deals with algorithms for and the complexity of problems involving graphs and/or geometry. That includes, for example, questions of computational geometry, geometric graph theory, graph drawing, and geometric optimization problems.
Hannes Mohrschladt was appointed Professor of Business Administration, especially Finance (pay scale group W3) at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences.
After studying Business Administration in Münster, Oslo, and Copenhagen, Hannes Mohrschladt completed his doctorate at the University of Münster on the topic “Information Processing of Investors in Financial Markets”. As postdoc, he also conducted research at the Ohio State University and the California Institute of Technology. His research was supported by third-party funds from the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
Hannes Mohrschladt’s research focuses on individuals’ systematic biases in information processing. On the one hand, he investigates corresponding research questions by means of experimental studies. On the other hand, he examines how this behavior affects real-world stock markets by analyzing extensive databases on individual investor decisions, stock returns, and accounting information.

Eva Markowsky was appointed Professor of Quantitative Economics, (pay scale group W1) at the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences.
After completing interdisciplinary studies in economics and sociology, Markowsky obtained her doctorate under the supervision of Prof. Miriam Beblo at Universität Hamburg on cultural and linguistic factors in the labor market integration of women with a migration background.As a microeconomics specialist who works empirically, her research interests include the economics of labor, migration, and education, often with a focus on gender and diversity aspects. In addition to the content-related aspects, her research projects share a strong focus on methods and empirical innovations. This includes the rapidly growing field of meta-analyses.
