Stefaan Vaes
Stefaan Vaes (born February 29, 1976 in Herentals , Belgium ) is a Belgian mathematician.
Vaes studied mathematics at the Catholic University of Leuven with a diploma in 1998 and a doctorate with Alfons Van Daele in 2001 (Locally Compact Quantum Groups). As a post-doctoral student he was in Paris (where he did research for the CNRS ) and then taught at the KU Leuven, where he received a full professorship in 2009.
He was visiting professor at the University of Paris VI and VII (where he qualified as a professor in 2004). In 2006 he held the Peccot Chair at the College de France. In 2010 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad (India) (Rigidity for von Neumann algebras and their invariants).
He deals with Von Neumann algebras and quantum groups.
In 2015 he received the Francqui Prize . In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
Cyril Houdayer is one of his PhD students .
