Fields of interest:
Combinatorics, Statistical Physics, Special Functions, Number Theory.
The main focus of my research lies in the area of Enumerative and Algebraic Combinatorics. I am interested in all kinds of enumeration problems, on an exact or an asymptotic level. I like particularly problems that come from or are inspired by Algebra (group theory, representation theory, ...), Statistical Physics, or Number Theory. The nature of the problems that I am dealing with explains my preoccupation with hypergeometric series, which form the link in my work to Number Theory.
