Peter Schneider is a professor in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Münster. His research interests lie within the Langlands program, which relates Galois representations to representations of p-adic reductive groups, as well as in number theory and in representation theory. He is the author of Nonarchimedean Functional Analysis (2001), p-Adic Lie Groups (2011) and Modular Representation Theory of Finite Groups (2012), and he is a member of the National German Academy of Science Leopoldina and of the Academia Europaea.
