Magnus Goffeng
Associate professor (universitetslektor) at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University. Vice director of research studies in mathematics at Mathematics LTH. See here for my previous positions.
Research interests
My research interests are broadly spread over analysis, geometry and problems from mathematical physics. The problems I work on often lie in the area of interplay between global analysis, index theory and spectral theory. In particular, I am interested in the more analytic aspects of noncommutative geometry and its applications in these areas. In many of the questions I study, the starting point is to use operators on Hilbert spaces to study geometry, often reducing geometric problems to analytic problems. Conversely, I also work on applying geometric ideas of an index theoretical nature to study analytic problems. The work I do can be categorized into one of the following groups:
Index theory and secondary invariants
Noncommutative geometry and dynamical systems
Spectral geometry and global analysis

Upcoming conferences, seminars et cetera
Will organize the NSeaG workshop 2024, dubbed OdenSeaG, at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, 19-23 August, 2024, together with Are Austad, Jens Kaad, David Kyed and Karen Strung.
Plan to partake in Institut Henri Poincaré-trimester on Representation Theory & Noncommutative Geometry, Paris, Spring 2025.
Will organize the conference "Spectral Analysis of Quantum Hamiltonians" at the Institut Mittag-Leffler (IML), 26-30 May 2025, aiming to celebrate Grigori Rozenblum's 75th anniversary and his outstanding contributions to spectral theory. Together with Ari Laptev, Simon Larson, Mikael Persson-Sundqvist, and Alexander Pushnitski.
Organizer of the Lund-part of the Øresundsseminar, next time in Lund 17/9, 2024.
If you've seen me at some conferences it might have been at one of these.
