My name is Ronen Brilleslijper and I am in the second year of being a PhD and Junior Lecturer at the VU. After doing a bachelor degree in Mathematics and Physics at the UvA, I pursued my master degree in the field of Algebra and Geometry. Currently, I am doing research at the interplay of theoretical maths and physics and I teach several courses within the bachelors of Mathematics, Econometrics and Business Analytics. Outside of work I spend a lot of time doing ballet and musical theatre.
