Astrid An Huef

Professor Astrid An Huef is a functional analyst specializing in operator algebras at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Victoria University of Wellington. Her work bridges infinite-dimensional operator algebras with dynamics, graph theory, and groupoids.

Research Interests:

• Operator algebras of graphs and groupoids
• Connections to number theory, harmonic analysis, and C*-algebras

Grants:

• 2025-2028: C*-algebras of semigroups (Royal Society of New Zealand)
• 2019-2023: Through the Looking Glass: Sharpening the Classification Program
• 2017-2019: Small Higher-Rank Graphs and Operator-Algebraic Dynamical Systems
• 2011-2014: Equilibrium states of operator algebras (with Iain Raeburn)

Teaching: Supervises Honours, Masters, and PhD students. Courses include Calculus, Linear Algebra, Complex Analysis, and advanced topics like Operator Algebra.
