Mes intérets de recherche se trouvent dans le domaine des équations aux dérivées partielles. Surtout je travaille sur des questions en calcul des variations. En particulier, je m'intéresse à l'élasticité non-linéaire, et à des problèmes variationels qui contiennent en même temps des aspects physiques et géométriques.

I am working in mathematical analysis, on problems in the fields of partial differential equations, calculus of variations and function spaces, including endpoint L¹ estimates for differential operators, Sobolev mappings, Ginzburg-Landau functionals, vortices
in fluid dynamics, magnetic Sobolev spaces and semi-linear elliptic problems.

Je participe à la recherche de l’équipe de théorie des catégories. Notre recherche se concentre sur l'algèbre catégorique: plus particulièrement, nous développons certains nouveaux aspects de la théorie des catégories utiles en algèbre homologique non abélienne, algèbre homotopique de dimension supérieur, algèbre universelle et algèbre topologique, théorie de la descente et théorie de Galois, théorie des algèbres de Hopf et des quandle.

Federico Campanini
My research interests are quite various and include substantially different topics in Commutative and non-Commutative Algebra, Module Theory and Category Theory. They may be listed as follows:
- Weak forms of the Krull-Schmidt Theorem in additive and module categories;
- Prüfer-like conditions in commutative rings with zero-divisors;
- Factorizations in commutative monoids;
- Homological algebra;
- Torsion and pretorsion theories in general categories.

Pierre-Alain Jacqmin
My main research interests lie in Category Theory, and more specifically in Categorical Algebra and Universal Algebra. My aim is to deeper understand algebraic categorical properties such as the Mal'tsev, unital or semi-abelian properties; in particular via some embedding theorems or preservation under the cofiltered limit completion. I am also interested in internal groupoids, weak equivalences and their bicategory of fractions as well as in finiteness spaces and generalized rings of power series.

Geoffrey Janssens
My research has spanned several areas of mathematics, however always centered around the study of the representations of the given object. Nowadays my focus is on finite dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras via geometric realisations. Hereby the angle is additive and monoidal categorification of an underlying cluster algebras.
Earlier my research focused on integral representation theory of finite groups, via connections to arithmetic groups. The latter can be thought as the integer points of semisimple linear algebraic groups of which the group of units of the integral group ring is an example of. The overarching quesiton here is which properties of the finite group can reconstructed out of the geometric group theoretical properties of the simple factors of the overlying algebraic group.

Julia Ramos González
My main research interests are category theory and homological algebra. I am particularly interested in the interplay of these fields with algebraic geometry in order to approach noncommutative algebraic geometry, where both abelian categories and enhancements of triangulated categories are used as models for noncommutative spaces. I am therefore interested in many different related areas: topos theory, localizations and categories of fractions, algebraic categories, triangulated and dg categories, infinity-categories, deformation theory…

I am interested in a wide range of topics within geometric group theory and representation theory of (locally compact) groups. Currently my focus is on understanding the finite simple quotients of Kac-Moody-Steinberg groups and their relationship to high-dimensional expanders.

Working in the area of homological algebra in a non-abelian context. More precisely, I am working a non-additive version of the left derived functors. This leads me to the study of homotopy of chain complex and a bit of model theory.

My PhD-topic is to develop a non-abelian theory of spectral sequences. Double semi-simplicial groups have certain spectral sequences associated to them. The motivating question is how much can we generalize this to the semi-abelian context.

Did my masters thesis in topos theory.
Currently writing about Lyapunov theory in categorical terms, specifically the converse lyapunov theorem that a system with an equilibrium point must have a corresponding "energy function" (lyapunov fucntion, ie a function that decrease on trajectory and "sufficiently" smooth) that serve as a certificate for the stability.

I work on the interplay between knot theory and higher representation theory. More precisely, I'm interested in an invariant of knots called odd Khovanov homology, which can be thought as a categorification of the Jones polynomial. I try to understand it through the categorification of (the representation theory of) quantum algebras.
