Klaus Hulek (born 19 August 1952 in Hindelang)[ citation needed ] is a German mathematician, known for his work in algebraic geometry and in particular, his work on moduli spaces. [1]
Klaus Hulek studied Mathematics from 1971 at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich graduating in 1976 with his Diplom. [2] In 1974/75 he studied at Brasenose College of the University of Oxford, where he obtained a master's degree. [3]
He obtained his doctorate under the supervision of Wolf Barth at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg in 1979. His thesis was "Stable rank 2 vector bundles on with odd first Chern class". [4] In 1982/83 he held a post-doctorate position at Brown University and after that he returned to Erlangen as a research scientist, where he completed his habilitation in 1984, gaining the title Privatdozent.
