Welcome to my website! I am Karoline van Gemst (Karo) and I am a mathematician.
From October 2026, I work as an assistant professor at IMPAN (Krakow branch) in the group of Prof. Maciej Dołęga. Prior to this, I was a postdoc for three years at the University of Milan - Bicocca, where my advisor was Prof. Paolo Lorenzoni.
I was a PhD student (and very briefly a postdoc) in the Algebraic Geometry and Mathematical Physics group at the University of Sheffield, under the supervision of Prof. Andrea Brini. I finished in 2023 and you can find my PhD thesis here.
I am fascinated by problems in pure mathematics inspired by physics. At the moment, this includes topics like Frobenius manifolds and their generalisations, Landau-Ginzburg models, mirror symmetry, topological recursion, and integrable systems.
All my papers can be found on my arXiv page.
