Research interests
I am a mathematical physicist, combining motivation, intuition and interpretation from theoretical physics with powerful algebraic techniques and deep structural understanding from representation theory.
Specifically, I am interested in the interplay between
- quantum spin chains with long-range interactions (Heisenberg, Inozemtsev, Haldane–Shastry),
- quantum many-body systems (Calogero–Sutherland, Ruijsenaars–Macdonald),
- representation theory (affine Hecke algebras, quantum groups, their Schur–Weyl dualities),
- currently with an emphasis on the elliptic case (Baxter–Belavin, Felder).
As my papers show, I am a big fan of diagrammatic methods in algebra.
My preprints can be found on arXiv. See also my profile on StackExchange.

Supervision
I welcome enquiries to supervise research students with interests in
Long-range quantum integrability (PhD)
Spin chains are models for magnetic materials based on quantum mechanics. While research often assumes interactions between the spins of adjacent atoms only, long-range spin interactions are relevant for cutting-edge experiments, quantum information and computing, and theoretical high-energy physics. If you like algebra or representation theory, and think you might want to help develop the powerful toolkit of quantum integrability in the long-range context, please send me an email!
Several possible projects are available, and can be tailored towards your experience and interests; a background in physics is not required. Keywords for possible topics are: Hecke algebras, Macdonald polynomials, quantum groups, elliptic generalisations, spin chains, quantum many-body systems.
