Harm Derksen
Harm Derksen (born July 10, 1970 in Ven-Zelderheide, Limburg Province ) is a Dutch-American mathematician in the field of algebra and in particular in invariant theory .
Education and life
As a student, Harm Derksen won the bronze medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in Canberra, Australia in 1988 . In the same year he passed his Abitur at the comprehensive school Elzendaalcollege in Boxmeer and studied mathematics from 1988 to 1993 at Radboud University Nijmegen . Derksen graduated there in May with a topic on finite derivation , group effects and applications. He was then an assistant in training there until 1994. From February 1994 he was on a scholarship at the University of Basel and from October 1994 as an assistant at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Basel with Hanspeter Kraft . There he did his doctorate under Kraft on an invariant theoretical topic with the title Constructive Invariant Theory and the Linearization Problem .
After completing his doctorate, Derksen moved to the United States , where he worked from 1997 to 1998 as a research assistant at Northeastern University in Boston. From 1998 to 2000 he was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before becoming an assistant professor from 2000 and full professor at the University of Michigan since 2009 .
