My name is Stanislas Herscovich (pronouns: he/him). I am mathematician and physicist, and I am currently working as pedagogical advisor and lecturer in EPFL. I'm on leave of absence from the Institut Fourier, Université Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, where I started working in December 2011. I'm very interested in the study of methodologies that help improve teaching and learning of STEM disciplines, specially mathematics and physics.
Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales (FCEyN), Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), from January 2013 to December 2014. During this time, I was also a research member of CONICET, Argentina. Between March 2010 and November 2011, I held a postdoctoral fellowship through the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at Universität Paderborn and Universität Bielefeld, Germany.
For my undergraduate studies, I completed two Master's theses at Universidad de Buenos Aires: one in Mathematics, titled La homología de Hochschild-Mitchell de categorías lineales y su parecido con la homología de Hochschild de álgebras (Hochschild-Mitchell homology of linear categories and its resemblance with Hochschild homology of algebras), and another in Physics, titled Modelos de Wess-Zumino-Witten sobre SL(2,ℝ) y teoría de cuerdas (Wess-Zumino-Witten models on SL(2,ℝ) and string theory).
I earned my PhD in the Mathematics Department at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, with my thesis titled Teoría de representaciones y homología de álgebras de Yang-Mills (Representation theory and homology of Yang-Mills algebras), under the supervision of Andrea Solotar. Additionally, I completed my Habilitation à diriger des recherches at the Institut Fourier, Université Grenoble Alpes, with a thesis titled Théorie des représentations et algèbre homologique (Representation theory and homological algebra).
