Biography
Johannes Nicaise (born 1981) works on algebraic and non-archimedean geometry. He obtained his PhD in 2004 under the supervision of Jan Denef and Francois Loeser. He was Chargé de Research at the University of Lille (2005-2009), assistant and associate professor at the KU Leuven (2009-2015) and Reader at Imperial College London (2015-today), keeping a part-time position at the KU Leuven. Nicaise was awarded a grant of the European Research Council (project MOTZETA 2013-2018) to work on the interactions between non-archimedean geometry, mirror symmetry and the theory of motivic zeta functions.
Research Interest
His current research intersest focuses on Non-archimedean Morse theory, mirror symmetry and the minimal model program
