Biography

Brent Pym is an Associate Professor at McGill University specializing in the intersection of differential and algebraic noncommutative geometry. His research explores topics closely linked to mathematical physics, focusing on Poisson varieties and noncommutative algebras through a unique process of deformation quantization. He delves into the connections between classical and derived algebraic geometry, D-modules, moduli spaces, and the Stokes phenomenon related to multiple zeta values. Pym has a notable history in academia, having joined McGill after holding positions such as the Seggie Brown Fellow at the University of Edinburgh and an EPSRC Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the University of Oxford. He has amassed a wealth of experience in symbolic calculations and remains dedicated to supervising undergraduate and graduate students in various mathematical projects.
