Volodymyr V. Kovalchuk
Postdoctoral Fellow at Friederich-Alexander Erlangen-Nürnberg University
I am a research mathematician working in the field of vertex algebras
I am broadly interested in conformal field theories, higher symmetries, and probability theory
I received my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Andrew R. Linshaw
