I am a PhD student working under the supervision of Wendy Lowen (University of Antwerp) and Michel Van den Bergh&#38;nbsp;(Hasselt University) based at the University of Antwerp. I hold a PhD fellowship of the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO).


Research interests

My primary interests lie at the intersection of homological algebra, category theory and noncommutative algebraic geometry. I mostly work with pretriangulated dg- and A-infty-categories and derived categories within the context of noncommutative algebraic geometry, studying, among other things, their deformation theory and the (non-)existence and (non-)uniqueness of enhancements in the presence of a t-structure.

Other topics I enjoy thinking about include Hochschild cohomology, ind-dg-completions, derived injectives, completions of t-structures, (truncated) twisted complexes, A-infinity-Massey products, and N-formal A-infinity-algebras. I am currently trying to apply these `Hochschild methods’ to problems within representation theory.
