Welcome to my personal Homepage!

I'm an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at KU Leuven in Leuven, Belgium. 

My research focuses on complex analysis, in particular on orthogonal polynomials and related extremal problems. In addition I'm interested in applications to eigenvalues of (non-Hermitian) random matrices and to zeros of random polynomials. Curiously, both these 2D random point processes can be thought of as systems of charged particles with a Coulomb interaction, leading to fruitful connections to statistical mechanics.

Thanks to support from the Flemish Research Foundation FWO, I have openings for PhD candidates in my group. If you are interested in joining my group, please send me an e-mail.
