I am a mathematician. My field is homological algebra.
I've done some work on quadratic and Koszul algebras, nonhomogeneous quadratic duality and curved DG-algebras, absolute Galois groups and Galois cohomology, mixed motives and motivic sheaves with finite coefficients, semi-infinite homological algebra, derived nonhomogeneous Koszul duality, derived categories and functors of the second kind, quasi-coherent matrix factorizations and relative singularity categories, contramodules and the comodule-contramodule correspondence, contraherent cosheaves, MGM duality and derived adic torsion and completion, locally presentable abelian categories, infinitely generated tilting theory and the tilting-cotilting correspondence, very flat and strongly flat modules, topologically perfect topological rings, semi-infinite algebraic geometry, abelian and exact DG-categories, periodicity theorems in homological algebra, limits of accessible categories and accessibility ranks, etc.
Since September 10, 2018, I am working as a researcher at the Department of Algebra, Geometry and Mathematical Physics of the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague.
