There will be 2 postdoc positions to work with me in Utrecht, both for at least 2 years. One focuses on (higher-dimensional) noncommutative algebraic geometry, the other on Hilbert schemes of points on (noncommutative) surfaces. Contact me if you are interested. More info to come soon!

Utrecht University is hiring an assistant professor in (arithmetic) algebraic geometry and number theory. See www.uu.nl/en/organisat... for all information. Please spread the word!

New: I went on a months-long treasure hunt for 1,200+ books spanning 450+ years to digitize Daniel Updike’s Printing Types from 1922, detailing the history of printing and typography. Made a nifty poster too. Explore: www.c82.net/printing-types How it was made: www.c82.net/blog/?id=100

There is also a PhD position at the University of Luxembourg (my former employer) where I'll be the acting supervisor, so with plenty of stays at Utrecht University See pbelmans.ncag.info/blog/2025/06... for more details

I have joined the editorial board of Journal of Noncommutative Geometry (ems.press/journals/jncg): send all your great papers on noncommutative algebraic geometry there!

The first K in the KKPY collaboration on rationality we've all been waiting for the past years just said in a talk that the paper(s) will appear next week.
