Peter Spacek

Peter Spacek is a Researcher at the Faculty of Mathematics, Technische Universität Chemnitz, Germany, under Prof. Christian Sevenheck. Previously, he was an Early Career Fellow of the London Mathematical Society, supported by the Heilbronn Institute, hosted by Prof. Nicolas Perrin at the Laboratoire de Mathématiques de Versailles. He holds a PhD from the University of Kent (UK), and Master's/Bachelor's degrees from the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands).

His research focuses on mirror symmetry for (quasi-)cominuscule homogeneous spaces, including the Cayley plane (E₆) and Freudenthal variety (E₇). Key areas include Landau-Ginzburg models, quantum cohomology, and minuscule posets. He collaborates widely, with recent work on irregular Hodge numbers and canonical mirror constructions.

He has presented at international conferences, including 'Mirrors in the Midlands 2024' and 'StringMath22', and co-organized reading groups on the Langlands program and conformal field theory. His teaching includes Lie algebras, reflection groups, and algebraic geometry modules.
