About me
I am a tenure-track professor at TU München. I am interested in the intersection of mathematical physics and algebraic topology, more precisely in the mathematical study of field theories using methods from homotopy theory. My research is concerned with several questions in the realm of functorial extended field theories and higher structures using tools like factorization algebras/factorization homology and derived symplectic geometry. I am also interested in the required higher categorical foundations for using homotopy theory in the study of field theories.
News
In spring 2025 I will be on maternity leave.
The Simons Lectures on Categorical Symmetries are now online here. These are lecture notes from the 2022 and 2023 summer schools of the Simons Collaboration on Global Categorical Symmetries.
Activities
Our SFB/CRC 1624 Higher Structures, moduli spaces and integrability has started! I am a PI in the project on "Stratified spaces and factorization homology techniques". We will have a summer school and conference in September 2025, stay tuned.
The SFB/CRC 1085 Higher Invariants was prolonged for the third funding period 2022-2025. I am a PI in 2 projects. I am a coorganizer of a conference on Functorial Field Theories in August 2023.
I am a PI in the Simons Collaboration on Global Categorical Symmetries. I was a coorganizer of last summer's conference and summer school in SwissMap Research Station in Les Diablerets, Switzerland.
Our research group
I currently have 2 PhD students (Eilind Karlsson (who has handed in her thesis), Anja Švraka) and 5 postdocs: Tashi Walde still is a guest in our group although he now is a postdoc in Regensburg.How to get in touch?
