Alumnus Nikita Nikolaev (UNIGE, A. Alekseev’s Group) has won a Marie Curie Fellowship

24 Mar 2021

Nikita, who is currently a Postdoc at the University of Sheffield, has won a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship from the European Commission which he will start in September 2022.

The project is called "AbQuantumSpec" which is an acronym for "Abelianisation of Connections, Quantum Curves, and Spectral Clusters". He will be taking this project to the University of Birmingham, UK, where he will be supported and supervised by Marta Mazzocco, starting in September 2022.

The project lies at the interface of holomorphic and algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, singular perturbation theory, and integrable systems. Amongst the aims is to advance our understanding of the geometry of moduli spaces of meromorphic connections and their quantisation. At the heart of the project is the development of the abelianisation techniques for connections and the geometric exact WKB method. They hope they will yield an effective description of some important algebro-geometric structures on these moduli spaces such as the symplectic cluster coordinates.
