Hadewijch De Clercq

Welcome to my personal website!

I am a PhD student in mathematics at Ghent University, Belgium.
My adviser is Hendrik De Bie.
I started my PhD in October 2019.
From February to August 2020, I have been on a research stay at the University of Amsterdam, visiting Jasper Stokman and Nicolai Reshetikhin.
I am funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO).

My research focuses on the interplay between quantum groups and their representations, orthogonal polynomials and integrable systems.
In particular, I am studying quantum symmetric pairs , universal K-matrices and boundary quantum Yang-Baxter equations.
I’m also interested in Askey-Wilson and q-Onsager algebras, Dunkl and Macdonald operators, double affine Hecke algebras and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations.
