About me
From September 2019 I will be a PhD candidate in the Operator Algebras group at UiO, supervised by Makoto Yamashita.
Academic Interests
Generally I am interested in (noncommutative) mathematics inspired by quantum theory.
More practically, at the moment I am interested in the theory of von Neumann algebras, (locally compact) quantum groups, and their interactions (especially approximation properties).
I also like to be somewhat aware of what my colleagues are working on, so I organize a biweekly seminar for temporary employees in analysis at UiO where we give short and accessible expository talks.
Preprints
- (24/06/20) Strong 1-Boundedness of Unimodular Free Orthogonal Quantum Groups (link)
Background
My background is in pure mathematics as well as theoretical (condensed matter) physics.
- MSc: double Masters in Mathematical Sciences and Theoretical Physics, obtained 2019 in Utrecht (Honours programme, cum laude)
- BSc: double Bachelors in Mathematics and Physics & Astronomy, obtained 2016 in Utrecht, (EMMEPH award for best physics Bachelor thesis prize, cum laude)
