about me

I am an assistant professor at the Utrecht University. What I did before this can be read below.

My mathematical interests are in algebraic geometry, representation theory, and noncommutative algebra, in particular I like to think about:

• the structure of derived categories, via exceptional collections and semiorthogonal decompositions
• deformation theory and Hochschild cohomology
• moduli spaces of sheaves on (noncommutative) varieties
• representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras and algebraic groups
• ...

Besides mathematics, I am interested in LaTeX (and typesetting in general). I also like playing classical guitar and reading.

Lebenslauf

In reverse chronological order, I was

• assistant professor at a University of Luxembourg

• a wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter at the University of Bonn in the algebra and representation theory group,
  and simultaneously an FWO postdoc at the University of Antwerp and University of Hasselt

• a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn

• a PhD fellow (of the Research Foundation—Flanders) in mathematics, in the research group on fundamental mathematics, at the University of Antwerp. In 2017 I defended my thesis Connections between commutative and noncommutative algebraic geometry, written under the supervision of Wendy Lowen and Michel Van den Bergh.

• a master student at École Polytechnique, where I wrote a mémoire On the homotopy theory of dg categories under the supervision of Bernhard Keller

What happened before that is hidden in the mists of time. It involved computers.
