Activities

I highly value the exchange of problems and ideas. Since 2019 I have been co-organizing conferences and workshops in my research field, both on a national and international level. Locally at Radboud University I have been organizing several seminars, some of them online. I frequently also communicate my own results in minicourses and invited lectures, and to a broader audience.

I am also co-founder and member of the Dutch Mathematial Relativity Group that organizes and coordinates regular activities in the Netherlands, and member of the GQT and NDNS+ clusters.
