Currently, I am a junior professor at the University of Mainz, though I am currently on leave for a research position, funded by my research grant "Equivariant K-motives and Koszul Duality" from the German Research Foundation (DFG). Previously, I served as a substitute professor at the University of Bonn. Before that, I was a postdoc at the University of Wuppertal funded by the same DFG grant, as well as at the University of Bonn and Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the workgroup of Catharina Stroppel. I also served as an Assistant Adjunct Professor at UCLA in the work group of Raphaël Rouquier. My PhD was completed under the supervision of Wolfgang Soergel at the University of Freiburg. My CV. |
My research area is geometric representation theory and motivic homotopy theory, where I am particulary interested in:
In very broad strokes, the general philosophy behind this area could be described like this:
Representation theory is a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of symmetrical objects, ranging from wallpapers with a repeating floral pattern to quantum-mechanical systems and automorphic forms. A powerful technique is to turn representation theoretic problems into questions about the shape or geometry of some space; this makes them amenable to methods from other areas of mathematics, as topology, algebraic or differential geometry, and one speaks of geometric representation theory.
