Welcome to my web page

I'm a professor of mathematics at the University of Luxembourg.

My interests are mainly in differential geometry as well as low-dimensional geometry and topology. But I'm also interested in a number of other topics, such as mathematical physics or computational geometry, and sometimes even in the sociology of science.

I'm was the Dean of the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine of my university until Oct 20, 2023. I now have more time for science!
