Short presentation

My research area is operator algebra with a special emphasis on classification of C*-algebras associated to discrete or low-dimensional structures. I work to enhance experimental (computer-based) methods in pre mathematics, and am passionate about dissemitaion of mathematical ideas both in teaching and outreach.

Primary fields of research

Operator algebras, K-theory, symbolic dynamics, discrete mathematics

Current research

I am a member of the network "Automorphisms and Invariants for Operator Algebras" funded by the Danish Independent Research Fund.

Teaching

Min undervisning er overvejende faldet indenfor et af områderne

• Indledende matematisk analyse
• Lineær algebra
• Funktionalanalyse
• Dynamiske systemer
• Diskret matematik (især i datalogisk kontekst)
• Eksperimentel matematik

og jeg har vejledt talrige projekter på alle niveauer indenfor samme felt, blandt andet 28 specialeafhandlinger.
