Prof. Dr. Carsten Trunk is interested in a special structure: While distances are usually positive, he is interested in what happens if you also allow negative distances. In this case, for example, two different points can have a distance of zero from each other. Surprisingly, such spaces appear in many problems, such as modern quantum mechanics or hydrodynamics. Besides his research in the field of applied functional analysis, Prof. Trunk has been giving lectures for engineers for many years.
