Peter Jossen

Peter Jossen is a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics at King's College London, affiliated with the Department of Mathematics within the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences. He holds an MSc from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (2006) and a PhD from Central European University (2009). Before joining King's in 2022, he served as an Assistant Professor at ETH Zürich and held post-doctoral positions in Regensburg, Paris, and Lausanne.

Education:

• MSc, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (2006)
• PhD, Central European University (2009)

Research Interests: Focuses on Arithmetic Number Theory, particularly applying motives to arithmetic questions. Engages with the Geometry Group’s research areas including algebraic geometry, cohomology theories, and symplectic geometry. Recent work explores non-hypergeometric E-functions and their connections to differential operators and Galois groups.

Publications: His 2021 article in ANNALS OF MATHEMATICS advances studies on hypergeometric functions and symmetry properties.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with the Geometry Group at King’s, contributing to topics like mirror symmetry and differential geometry.
