- Field(s): Computer science; connected to mathematics via academic genealogy and bibliographic records
(Other biographical details such as birth date, place, nationality, employers, and specific publications are not available in the provided source material.)

## Contributions
Matthias Fichtner completed doctoral research at Technische Universität Dresden, receiving a Ph.D. in 2009 under the supervision of Michael Thielscher. His academic record is indexed in standard research and mathematics resources: he appears in the Mathematics Genealogy Project (ID 142114), is listed with a MathSciNet/Mathematical Reviews author identifier (MR author ID 732372), and is indexed in zbMATH (zbmath author id: fichtner.matthias). These entries document his formal contribution to the scholarly record and provide persistent, citable links to his doctoral thesis and any publications indexed under those author identifiers. The presence of these identifiers indicates that his academic output is part of the peer-reviewed literature and the academic lineage in computer science and related mathematical areas. Specific paper titles, patents, products, or other concrete works are not provided in the source material.

## FAQs
### Q: Who supervised Matthias Fichtner's doctoral work?
A: His doctoral advisor was Michael Thielscher, who is recorded as Fichtner's supervisor in the source material.

### Q: When and where did Matthias Fichtner receive his Ph.D.?
A: He received a Ph.D. from Technische Universität Dresden in 2009.

### Q: Where can I find bibliographic records of his work?

## Why They Matter
Matthias Fichtner’s recorded Ph.D. and presence in bibliographic and genealogy databases establish him as a researcher within the academic communities of computer science and related mathematical fields. A Ph.D. denotes original research training and contribution to scholarly knowledge; his doctoral degree (Technische Universität Dresden, 2009) situates him in an academic lineage and links him to his advisor, Michael Thielscher. The MathSciNet and zbMATH author identifiers make his contributions discoverable, citable, and integrated into the scholarly infrastructure that researchers use to trace ideas, results, and collaborations. The Mathematics Genealogy Project entry documents his academic descent and helps place his work in the broader context of research mentorship and knowledge transmission. Without such formal records, it would be harder for other researchers and historians to verify authorship, trace influence, and locate his thesis or publications in the research literature.
