Visitor programme
The Centre for Geometry and Physics hosts short term visitors to enhance interdisciplinary collaborations among our PIs and researchers from other Nordic institutes, as well as from abroad.
We are thankful to our visitors for their contribution to the scientific life of the Centre: below please find a list of our current and past visitors.

Past visitors
Guillermo Arias-Tamargo: 18 - 27 March, 2024
Guillermo Arias-Tamargo is a Research Associate at the Theoretical Physics group at Imperial College London. He received his PhD in 2023 from the University of Oviedo under the supervision of Prof. Diego Rodríguez-Gómez.
His research interests include Quantum Field Theory and its symmetries and dualities, and using string theory tools to understand them.
Luca Cassia: 18 - 27 March, 2024
Luca Cassia is a Research Fellow in Pure Mathematics at the University of Melbourne working in the group of Prof. N. Ganter.
He received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Milano-Bicocca in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. S. Penati. After that he has been a PostDoc researcher at Uppsala University and Durham University.
He is interested in algebro-geometric aspects of quantum field theories and string theory; more specifically: matrix models, BPS/CFT correspondence, topological recursion, topological string theory, quantum cohomology and mirror symmetry.

Francesco Bonechi: 3 - 7 March, 2024
Francesco Bonechi got his PhD in physics from the University of Florence with a thesis on quantum groups. He works in INFN, sezione di Firenze. His reasearch interests are Batalin Vilkovisky method for the quantization of gauge theories and Poisson and higher geometry.

Paul-Konstantin Oehlmann: 24 February - 1 March, 2024
Paul-Konstantin Oehlmann did his PhD at Bonn University and Postdocs at DESY, Virginia Tech, Uppsala and currently at Northeastern University. His research evolves around the exploration of the dictionary between geometry and physics that string theory provides. Applications range from constructing UV completions of the Standard Model with Gravity and consistency conditions of discrete symmetries in Quantum Gravity.
Moreover, he exploits the dictionary, to gain insights into strongly coupled and non-Lagrangian theories in six and lower dimensions, their dualities and generalized symmetry structures.

Nikita Nekrasov: January 2024
Nikita Nekrasov was invited as the keynote speaker at the inauguration of the centre on January 24, 2024. He gave a popular science lecture entitled "The Natural Language: geometry of physics" that left the audience with a lot of food for thought. The lecture attracted over 120 people, both researchers and students in mathematics and physics, but also researchers from other disciplines, some science-minded journalists and members of the public.
Nikita is a world-leading expert in theoretical and mathematical physics active at the Simons Centre for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University in New York. During the same visit, he was awarded an honorary doctorate at Uppsala University. More about Nikita Nekrasov on Wikipedia.
