Maarten Solleveld

Maarten Solleveld (1979) studied mathematics at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. From 2002 till 2006 he was a PhD-student at the UvA, under the supervision of Eric Opdam. In 2007 he obtained his PhD and held short-term positions at the UvA and at the Hausdorff Institut für Mathematik in Bonn. In september 2007 he moved to Göttingen, where worked as a post-doc for four years. In june 2011 he received his Habilitation from the Universität Göttingen.
Since the autumn of 2011 he is a tenure-track UD at the Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen.

Solleveld’s research interest is in representation theory with a geometric flavour. Recurring themes in his work are affine Hecke algebras, reductive p-adic groups, Bruhat-Tits buildings
and noncommutative algebraic geometry.

Apart from mathematics, Solleveld is an international master in chess. With his rating around
