Jeroen Zuiddam
Mathematician and computer scientist working as an assistant professor at the Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics of the University of Amsterdam and a researcher at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI).
I am a 2021 Veni laureate (awarded by the Dutch Research Council NWO). From 2020 to 2021 I was a Simons Junior Fellow at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University, hosted by Oded Regev. From 2018 to 2020 I was a member in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, hosted by Avi Wigderson. Until 2018 I worked at CWI, the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands. I received my PhD cum laude from the University of Amsterdam in October 2018.

Research
My research is on various topics in computational complexity theory, quantum information theory and discrete mathematics. A unifying theme in my work is the interaction between amortization, symmetry and approximation. Among the topics that I am particularly interested in are: fast matrix multiplication, Shannon capacity of graphs, the algebraic version of the P versus NP problem, direct sum theorems and Ramsey type problems. I use methods from diverse fields, including representation theory, algebraic geometry, information theory, optimization and real semi-algebraic geometry.
