Tammo tom Dieck is a world-class expert in algebraic topology and author of several widely-used textbooks in topology. He has done research on Lie groups, G-structures,[2] and cobordism. In the 1990s and 2000s, his research dealt with knot theory (and its algebras) and quantum groups.
His doctoral students include Stefan Bauer and Wolfgang Lück.
Tammo tom Dieck is a grandson of the architect Walter Klingenberg, a brother of the chemist Heindirk tom Dieck,[3] and the father of the pianist Wiebke tom Dieck.
