I'm a Professor of Mathematics (Algebra) at the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), member of the Algebra, Geometry and Computer Algebra group. My main research area is representation theory. I like interactions with algebraic geometry, category theory, combinatorics, and computer algebra—more generally also with computer science and physics. Some specific topics I am interested in are:

  • Birational geometry and representation theory of symplectic singularities
  • Representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras
  • Anything Lie theoretic
  • Tensor categories and categorification
  • Algorithmic and constructive techniques

News and schedule

2024

In the summer term 2024 I will be teaching Character Theory of Finite Groups and Geometry of Schemes. Moreover, I will supervise an undergraduate seminar on reflection groups (see OLAT for more information).
