About

I am a professor of mathematics and member of the Geometry and Topology Group at NTNU in Trondheim. My research is mainly focused on homotopy theory and its applications in algebraic and arithmetic geometry. For more information, please have a look at my research page and my notes from talks and lecture series. I enjoy working with students and invite you to contact me if you are interested in working on a project with me. You find current and finished projects on my supervision page. Below you find some more information about my academic service and academic experience.
