In 2024/25, I am teaching Mathematical Methods 3 (Wiskundige Technieken 3) in Blok 1, Functional Analysis (Functionaalanalyse) in Blok 2, and the Seminar Analysis: Quantization in Semester 2; see Blackboard and Osiris for the dedicated pages.
In our master program we have a new track on Mathematics of Physical Structures, which explores in depth the mathematical foundations of modern physical theories.
It provides the mathematical understanding and tools
underpinning an extensive range of contemporary science
including statistical mechanics, relativity, string theory and
the quantum theory of many body systems. It is structured into
two broad thematic blocks: mathematical relativity and
mathematics of large-scale systems. A combination of
courses from both blocks is also possible.
In 2024/25 I will be responsible for the sub-track on
mathematical relativity. Please do not hesitate to get in touch
if you would like to know more about it.
Please do not hesitate to contact me before the beginning of the semester if you are interested in a project at BSc or MSc level.
Depending on your own interests, it could be a project in pure
mathematics (analysis, differential geometry) or at the
interface with theoretical physics (mathematics relevant for
Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory or General Relativity).
