Teaching
In the spring-semester of 2011 I am teaching the following courses:
- Discrete Mathematics 1 (WB010B) and
Discrete Mathematics 2 (WB011D) for second year students mathematics.
- Mathematics and Harmony in the interdisciplinary Honours Program
of the Radboud University.
In the autumn-semester of 2010 I have taught the following courses:
- Wiskunde en Computers (WP011C) for first year students mathematics.
- Linear Algebra 1 (NP009B) and Linear Algebra 2 (NP010B)
for first year students mathematics and physics.
- Groups in Action for master students mathematics.
More information on this and on my teaching activities from previous years
can be found on my
teaching
page (in Dutch).
Research
My principal research interests lie in algorithmic group theory and
representation theory.
An application hereof lies in mathematical crystallography,
where I'm member of the IUCr Commission on
Mathematical and Theoretical Crystallography
MaThCryst.
On Friday, February 23rd 2007, a
DIAMANT Intercity Seminar on Crystallography took place
in HG00.068 of the Huygens-building at the Radboud University Nijmegen.
See the list of
publications
for an overview of my research topics.
More generally, I am working on various aspects of computer algebra.
In the year 1996/97, I have been working with the Magma group at
the Univeristy of Sydney, contributing mainly to the packages on
groups, representations, lattices and local fields.
Depending on the specific tasks, I usually use the
Magma,
GAP
or
Maple
computer algebra packages.
Outside pure mathematics, I have been working on
automatic speech recognition at the Philips research labs in
Aachen (Germany) from 1998-2000
(see my
publications
page for some papers from that period).
Other tasks
Mathematical Colloquium
I am chairman of the
Mathematical Colloquium
which takes place on Wednesdays from 11.00-12.00h
Suggestions for speakers are always welcome under
souvi@math.ru.nl.
Onderdeelcommissie FNWI
From 2003 to 2009, I represented the mathematics group in the
onderdeelcommissie (OC) of the faculty.
The OC (together with student representatives and the faculty management)
forms part of the
Facultaire Gezamenlijke Vergadering (FGV)
and is part of the workers' participation at the RU.
More information (in Dutch) on the OC can be found
here.
NMC 2003
In 2003 the
Nederlands Mathematisch Congres,
the annual congres of the Dutch Mathematical Society,
took place at the University of Nijmegen on
1st and 2nd May 2003.
In the organizing committee of NMC 2003 I filled the position of treasurer.
