Homepage of Max Blans

I am a postdoc in the research group of Lukas Brantner at the University of Oxford. Before that, I was a PhD student of Gijs Heuts at Utrecht University.

Research interests: ((Unstable) chromatic) homotopy theory, Goodwillie calculus, higher algebra.

Research

• Free algebras via monoidal envelopes, with S. Linskens (2026). Submitted.

• On the chain rule in Goodwillie calculus, with T. Blom (2024). Submitted.

• Appendix to The K-theory cochains of H-spaces and height 1 chromatic homotopy theory, with S. van Nigtevecht. Algebraic & Geometric Topology 26-1 (2026), 29-63.

• Torsion in v1-periodic homotopy theory, master's thesis (2021).
