Søren Eilers

Søren Eilers is a Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on Operator Algebras, particularly the classification of C*-algebras related to discrete and low-dimensional structures. He is a member of the FNU network 'Automorphisms and Invariants for Operator Algebras' and advocates for experimental mathematics using computational methods in pure mathematics.
