Rune Haugseng

Rune Haugseng is a Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), specializing in Homotopy Theory and Higher Category Theory. His research also intersects with Derived Algebraic Geometry and Topological Quantum Field Theories.

• Fields of Interest: Homotopy Theory, Higher Category Theory, Derived Geometry, and Quantum Field Theories.

His recent publications focus on advanced topics in higher algebra, such as lax monoidal adjunctions, bispans, and the interplay between ∞-operads and symmetric monoidal structures. He has supervised multiple PhD and Master’s students, including Louis Martini and Klaus Caning, with projects ranging from internal categories in ∞-topoi to state-sum constructions of TQFTs.
