Dr. Ingmar Metzler

Mathematician | Physicist | Consultant

Introduction

Research • As a postdoctoral researcher in number theory at ETH Zurich, I work under the mentorship of Professor Dr. Özlem Imamoglu. I completed my PhD in 2024 under the supervision of Professor Dr. Jan Hendrik Bruinier at TU Darmstadt. My research affiliations include the DFG-funded collaborative research centre GAUS, as well as the LOEWE excellence initiative’s USAG programme.

Leadership • Beyond research, I demonstrate leadership in academic community development as a founder and principal organiser of the international workshop series ENTR, which is currently in its fourth iteration. As a docent at ETH Zurich, I am deeply committed to excellence in teaching — a commitment previously recognised through a nomination of the project TU-WAS for a university-wide teaching award in digital education at TU Darmstadt.

Technology • In addition, my professional portfolio extends to financial consulting for institutional clients with Dr. Nagler and Company as well as the development and implementation of AI tools. For instance, I contributed to the federal project Digll working to advance digital transformation and enhance teaching effectiveness in international institutions of higher education, particularly through the TU-WAS project.
