Who am I?
Seems superfluous to ask this at this point, but alright; I am Sebastian Eterović.
What am I?
FWF ESPRIT senior postdoc in mathematics. You can find a list of my publications here.
Where am I?
Kurt Gödel Research Center for Mathematical Logic, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna.
