NSeaG2023

I have recently organised the NSeaG2023 meeting, which took place at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) in Bonn in May 2023. It is part of the series NSeaG — Noncommutative Geometry along the North Sea — and consists of:

• a Hausdorff School on "Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras", 2-5 May (Website);
• the NSeaG2023 Workshop, 8-12 May (Website).

Research interests

Noncommutative geometry and unbounded KK-theory, in particular with applications to:

• the study of Fredholm operators, spectral flow, and index theory;
• (classical and quantum) gauge theories and Lorentzian geometry.

Current Teaching

Winter semester 2024-2025:

• Graduate Seminar on Global Analysis (with Matthias Lesch): Dirac Operators and Spin Geometry.
  Overview
  Preliminary meeting: Tuesday, 09 July 2024, 16:00, room 0.006, Endenicher Allee 60.
  As long as talks are available, late registrations are welcome via email to Prof. Lesch.

Summer semester 2024:

• S1G1 Seminar: Geometrie & Analysis – Ausgewählte Beweise.
  Overview
  
• Assistent V2B3 Einführung in die Komplexe Analysis
