Dan Petersen

Dan Petersen is a Professor of Mathematics at Stockholm University, specializing in the intersection of algebraic geometry and algebraic topology with a focus on moduli spaces. His research explores topics such as cohomology theories, homological stability, and geometric structures.

He has advised PhD students including Erik Lindell, Louis Hainaut, Josefien Kuijper, and Oliver Lindström. His work frequently intersects with geometric topology, number theory, and representation theory, as seen in his recent publications on handlebody groups, Mumford conjectures, and configuration spaces.

Collaborations with postdocs such as Johan Alm, Marcel Rubió, and Sylvain Douteau highlight his involvement in advanced research networks. His contributions to algebraic structures and topological methods have advanced understanding in both pure and applied mathematics contexts.
