Arne Mertens
HomepageI am a guest lecturer at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Antwerp (UA), where I work in the research group of Wendy Lowen. I am also currently cosupervising the PhD project of Violeta Borges Marques.
My research interests include homotopy theory and higher structures, as well as homological algebra and deformation theory. In particular I study models for linear ∞-categories, with a focus on applications in non-commutative algebraic geometry.
