2019: Student Seminar in Theoretical Physics
(Universiteit van Amsterdam)
Coordinator for the course. Tuesdays 9 – 12 in the Theory Lounge.
- Nonperturbative approaches to 1+1D field theories (coordinator seminars)
Some incomplete notes for this part of course can be found here - Black holes physics (student seminars)
- Resummation in QCD (student seminars)
- Supersymmetry in field theory (student seminars)
2018: Student Seminar in Theoretical Physics
(Universiteit van Amsterdam)
Assistant for the course Three Facets of One-Dimensional Physics (a required course for UvA Master’s program in Theoretical Physics). The course covered:
- Abelian bosonization
- The Bethe ansatz
- Conformal field theory
I gave a six hour “crash course” series of lectures on conformal field theory: Notes from the course (scanned + handwritten, note 30Mb!)
As part of the course, students completed a project on problems in the literature. Many of these were directed/supervised/suggested by myself. A list of the projects, and the final summaries from students (click “mini-digests”) can be found on the webpage.

Topics including:
- Path integrals in quantum mechanics
- Quantum many-body systems
- Phase transitions and critical phenomena
- Stochastic processes
- Classical field theory
