My name is Torgeir Aambø. I’m currently a PhD student at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, where I am part of the project “Tensor triangulated geometry in Trondheim” supervised by Drew Heard.
This site is meant to host my journey through the three pillars of academia: reading, writing and speaking. Here you will find my projects, talks I have held and been to, various writings, things I read as well as my blog. On the blog you will find posts about what I have been learning (mostly mathematics).
I also organize the Young Homotopy-theorist Online Meeting together with Julie Rasmusen and the PITA seminar together with Endre Rundsveen. I also maintain a thesis archive (mostly bachelor and master) written by students of mathematics and physics at NTNU – in particular people who have been a part of Delta, the student association for mathematics and physics.
