Professor Yiannis Petridis, guest at GAMP
Dr Yiannis Petridis will in his 11th visit to the department study counting points on affine homogeneous varieties using spectral theory of automorphic forms, working with Morten Risager and Henrik Schlichtkrull, members of the Geometric Analysis and Mathematical Physics Section.
Dr Yiannis Petridis holds a PhD from Stanford University, written on the “Scattering Theory for Automorphic Functions and its relation to L-functions” under the direction of Prof. Peter Sarnak.
He is currently on sabbatical leave from University College London, where he holds the position of Reader in Pure Mathematics, since 2009.
He was a Humboldt Fellow at Max-Planck Institut in Bonn in 2005, where he was also post-doctoral researcher. He also held visiting positions at Johns Hopkins U., McGill U. and CRM (Montreal).
His research interests include analytic number theory, spectral theory and analysis on manifolds, and quantum chaos. He speaks many languages: English, French, German, Greek, and is studying Danish. He has also studied hieroglyphics and Middle Egyptian.
You can find Dr. Yiannis Petridis in office 04.3.14. He will be guesting Copenhagen until May 2017.
