Biography
Andreas Winter was born in Altötting, a small rural town near Munich, known also as the Heart of Bavaria. After developing an infatuation with science early on, and in particular with mathematics, he decided to study this subject in Konstanz and Berlin. He graduated in 1997 from the Freie Universität Berlin, and went on to obtain a doctorate in mathematics from the Universität Bielefeld in 1999, with the late Rudolf Ahlswede. In 2001 he joined the quantum information group in Bristol as a postdoc, became Lecturer in Applied Mathematics there in 2003, and Professor of the Physics of Information in 2006. In 2012 he left Bristol after 11 years, to move to the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona as ICREA Research Professor, where he is now part of the quantum information group.
