Ott-Heinrich Keller was a German mathematician who worked on algebraic geometry and topology.
Mathematical Profile (Excerpt):
- Keller then went to the Technical University of Charlottenburg in Berlin where he was appointed as assistant to George Hamel.

- In 1954 Keller published his first book Geometrie der Zahlen Ⓣ(Geometry of numbers) which contained many of his contributions to the topic.
