Teaching and supervision

I am the co-supervisor of Paul Zinn-Justin’s PhD student Ajeeth Gunna. I also co-supervised Hjalmar Rosengren’s PhD student Linnea Hietala (Chalmers and University of Gothenburg), who recently defended her thesis.

Below you can find a more detailed description of my pedagogical experience. See also these other activities that I have been involved in.

Melbourne

For simplicity I keep using the seasons of the Northern hemisphere.

• Fall 2020–Spring 2021: assisted Rob Klabbers in supervising the MSc thesis of Simon Lentz, Exact eigenstates of the Inozemtsev spin chain (2021, KTH Stockholm)
• Spring 2020–present: co-supervising Paul Zinn-Justin’s PhD student Ajeeth Gunna
• Fall 2019: assisting the MSc course Exactly Solvable Models taught by Paul Zinn-Justin
• Spring 2019: teaching assistant for Schur functions and Schur processes, taught by Ole Warnaar, and Quantum integrability and symmetric polynomials taught by Paul Zinn-Justin at the Virginia Integrable Probability Summer School 2019

Chalmers

• Spring 2017: Quantum and classical particle systems, together with Jakob Björnberg
• Fall 2016–21: co-supervised Hjalmar Rosengren’s PhD student Linnea Hietala, Combinatorics of solvable lattice models with a reflecting end (defended 28 May ’21), see also here

As a PhD candidate

• Spring 2014–winter 2015: Seminar on mathematical aspects of QFT, organised together with PhD candidates from the Mathematical Institute at Utrecht U
• Summer 2014: Introduction to quantum integrability at the Modave summer school in mathematical physics, Modave (summer 2014) [lecture notes]
• Spring 2014: Introduction to higher-spin gauge theory, taught by Kramers Professor Mikhail Vasiliev from the Lebedev Physical Institute [lecture notes]
• Spring 2014: Advanced graduate seminar, organised by Marcos Crichigno, on dualities and emergent gauge symmetry in condensed matter
• Fall 2012–Fall 2014: assisted Gleb Arutyunov in supervising MSc thesis in theoretical physics:
  R Klabbers, Inozemtsev’s elliptic spin chains: asymptotic Bethe ansatz and thermodynamics (2014)
  R J Rodger, A pedagogical introduction to the AGT conjecture (2013)
• Fall 2013: Seminar on quantum-integrable models [mirror], organised together with André Henriques and Gleb Arutyunov [comparison of notations in our references]
• Spring 2013: Field theory in particle physics, taught by Bernard de Wit and Eric Laenen

During my master’s studies I assisted various Bachelor courses in physics and mathematics. I also taught at SSL in Leiden, preparing high-school students for their final exams in mathematics.
