Pelle Steffens

Dr. Pelle Steffens is a Research Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), School of Computation, Information and Technology, working under Prof. Claudia Scheimbauer since July 2023. Prior to this position, he held a postdoctoral appointment at the Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Mathematics, Université de Montpellier (2022), supervised by Prof. Damien Calaque

Steffens' research operates at the nexus of abstract homotopy theory—specializing in higher category theory—and geometric mathematical physics. He employs derived geometry to investigate structural frameworks of classical and quantum field theories, establishing rigorous connections between advanced categorical mathematics and physical systems. This work provides foundational insights into quantum phenomena through sophisticated geometric and homotopical methods.
