Research

Mathematical quantum physics; Here is a list of my publications

Here are three talks I gave that have been published on Youtube, all intended for a rather broad audience of mathematical physics:
on tensor categories and quantization in the quantum Hall effect (in the seminar of the International Association of Mathematical Physics)
on the classification of quantum phases (in the Global Noncommutative Geometry Seminar),
on topological quantum transport (in the seminar of the International Association of Mathematical Physics)
A slightly more technical one on a topological index for time-reversal invariant phases (at a summer school at CU Boulder)

I am a editor of Mathematical Physics, Analysis and Geometry and Advances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics

Here is a list of upcoming seminars inclulding those of the DG-MP-PDE group

Teaching

"Call to mind from whence we sprang:
Ye were not form'd to live the life of brutes
But virtue to pursue and knowledge high."

Ulysses in Dante's Divine Comedy

Service to the community

Since January 2024, I am an officer of the Executive Committee of the International Association of Mathematical Physics

Short CV

I was born in the shadow of these mountains, studied next to those, got my doctorate facing more mountains, explored those for a few years, moved closer the original ones, and am currently enjoying other wild peaks. Needless to say, I have been very lucky.
