Welcome to the homepage of Roland van der Veen, PhD student mathematics in
the research group of prof. dr. Eric Opdam at the KdV Institute, University of Amsterdam
and the national cluster Geometry and Quantum Theory. email: R.I.vanderVeen (at) uva (dot) nl
Research:
The geometry and topology of knots and 3-manifolds and their relations with other parts
of mathematics.
More specifically I'm looking at the relations between quantum
knot invariants and the geometry of the knot complement.
Currently I'm working
on the the volume conjecture.
