Matthias Valvekens

Current status

I'm currently employed as a Senior Scala Engineer at Centrica Business Solutions (formerly REstore) in Antwerp, and previously as a Research Engineer at iText in Ghent. I was a researcher at KU Leuven from 2016 to 2020, where I completed my PhD in mathematics under the supervision of prof. Stefaan Vaes. My research centred around the representation theory of rigid C^*-tensor categories, subfactor theory and quantum groups. I'm also available for part-time consulting work related to digital documents and digital signatures, especially in connection with my open source work in that space.
