Niels Martin Møller, assistant professor
Niels Martin Møller joined the University of Copenhagen on August 1st, 2016, as tenure-track assistant professor in mathematics. He will be affiliated with the section of Geometric Analysis and Mathematical Physics.
Previously, Niels Martin was employed as instructor at Princeton University (three years, in the group of S.-Y. Alice Chang, Paul C. Yang, Gang Tian and Fernando C. Marques). The preceding year he was S.-S. Chern Senior Postdoc at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Italy, in Fernando Villegas's and Claudio Arezzo's group - and member at MSRI in Berkeley, USA.
He received his PhD degree from MIT, under the supervision of Tobias H. Colding. Niels Martin has BSc and MSc degrees from University of Aarhus, where he worked with Bent Ørsted and Klaus Mølmer.
Niels Martin's research interests are in geometric analysis, where differential geometry and topology meet nonlinear partial differential equations, and in mathematical physics. At present he works primarily on minimal surface theory, and on applying techniques from that subject to singularities and solitons in curvature flows. Other related interests include conformal and Kähler geometry, theory for quantum computers and quantum fields/strings, spectral theory for Schrödinger operators, and applications of representation theory for Lie groups.
