Universiteit Leiden
Welcome to my homepage! Currently I am assistant professor in the Analysis and Dynamical Systems group of the Mathematical Institute at Leiden University. Here you can find some information about my research and teaching.
Research interests
Noncommutative differential geometry
Bivariant operator K-theory
Groupoids
Mathematics of topological phases of matter
K-theoretic approaches to Langlands functoriality
Current events
Functional analysis seminar: Completely bounded maps and operator algebras, fall semester 2021 at Leiden University.
Noncommutative geometry reading seminar: Deformation quantisation and index theory, fall semester 2021 at Leiden University.
Lorentz Center workshop - Quantum Probability and Non-commutative Harmonic Analysis, November 15-19 2021 at the Lorentz Center.
Japan-Netherlands joint seminar: Index Theory and Operator Algebras in Topological Physics, January 31 - February 4 2022 (details TBA), Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.
Lorentz Center workshop - Noncommutative Geometry along the North Sea, May 30- June 2 2022 at the Lorentz Center.
Teaching
Currently I teach two 3rd year B. Sc.courses at Leiden: Linear Analysis in the fall semester and Differentiable Manifolds 2 in the spring semester. These courses are foundational to many areas of mathematics. In particular, they together provide a good starting point to get into noncommutative geometry.Past events
February-June 2020, Friday afternoons: Seminar Operator spaces at Leiden University.
February 3-4: Workshop Noncommutative geometry, analysis and topological insulators at Leiden University, Netherlands.
February 21- March 21: Visitor at IHES, Paris, France.
