About me

I am assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Radboud University Nijmegen.

My primary area of research is algebraic topology. I am also interested in questions about algebraic K-theory, higher category theory, derived algebraic geometry, and homological algebra.

Activities

• Gijs Heuts, Magdalena Kędziorek, Lennart Meier, Ieke Moerdijk and I run the bi-weekly Topology intercity seminar Utrecht-Nijmegen. In the spring of 2019 we have been covering various basic notions.

• Together with Ioan Mărcuț, I am organizing the Geometry Seminar at Radboud University.

• Together with Gijs Heuts, Lennart Meier and Ieke Moerdijk, I am organizing an European Autumn School in Topology that takes place September 2019. There were earlier editions of this event in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

• Together with Christian Blohmann, Marius Crainic, Ioan Mărcuț, and Ieke Moerdijk, I am organizing the workshop series "Higher Geometric Structures along the Lower Rhine". The last editions were Higher Geometric Structures along the Lower Rhine XIII in Utrecht and Higher Geometric Structures along the Lower Rhine XII in Nijmegen.
