About
I am a predoctoral fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders - Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (FWO) based at University of Antwerp (UA), completing my PhD under the supervision of Wendy Lowen.Research interests
Operads // Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry // Deformation TheoryMy interests lie at the intersection of algebraic topology, noncommutative algebraic geometry and homotopical algebra. I study all kinds of higher structures and their deformations theories, with a main focus on applying combinatorial and homological methods. This includes operads and their variations, higher categories and prestacks, deformation complexes, Koszul duality and Gerstenhaber-Schack cohomology.
PhD project (October 2019 - Present)
under the supervision of Wendy Lowen.“Operadic Approaches to Deforming Higher Categories and Prestacks”
Funding
I was hired as part of the ERC Project “Foundations for Higher and Curved Noncommutative Geometry” with principal investigator Wendy Lowen. Thereafter, I was awarded a 1-year umbrella grant by University of Antwerp (UA) and succesfully applied for a 4-year PreDoc grant with Research Foundation Flanders (FWO).
