## Why They Matter
Dirk Sudholt’s recorded contributions matter in the context of academic research and scholarly metadata. Completing a Dr. rer. nat. signifies a substantive piece of supervised research that entered the academic record in 2008. That doctorate ties him into an academic lineage via his advisor Thomas Jansen, as documented in the Mathematics Genealogy Project, which preserves mentorship and doctoral descent information valuable for historians of mathematics and computer science. His presence in Mathematical Reviews under a specific author identifier indicates that his work is part of the formal bibliographic corpus tracked by major indexing services. Affiliation with the Technical University of Dortmund situates his research within a recognized research institution. Without these verifiable records—doctoral degree, advisor linkage, and bibliographic identifiers—those particular contributions to the scholarly corpus and the documented mentorship chain would be absent from the public academic record.
