\hypertarget{myposition}{}\subsection*{{my position}}\label{myposition} I am permanent researcher in the department \emph{\href{http://www.math.cas.cz/recherche/equipe.php?id_equipe=18&lang=0}{Algebra, Geometry and Mathematical Physics}} of the

fundamental physics. For informal exposition see \hyperlink{column}{below}. With [[Hisham Sati]] I have edited a survey book that should give a good sense of modern insights into the general abstract structure of the world: \begin{itemize}% \item \emph{[[schreiber:Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Field and Perturbative String Theory]]}, Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, \href{http://bookstore.ams.org/PSPUM-83}{volume 83}, AMS, 2011 \end{itemize} I am writing a monograph about a modern approach to this subject: \begin{itemize}% \item \emph{[[schreiber:differential cohomology in a cohesive topos|Differential cohomology in a cohesive topos]]}. \end{itemize} An expository survey text is here: \begin{itemize}% \item \emph{[[schreiber:Higher Prequantum Geometry]]}, chapter in [[nLab:Gabriel Catren|G. Catren]], [[nLab:Mathieu Anel|M. Anel]] (eds.) \emph{[[nLab:New Spaces for Mathematics and Physics]]}, IHP Paris, 2016 \end{itemize} and survey talks are here: \begin{itemize}% \item talk at \emph{\href{http://ercpqg-espace.sciencesconf.org/program}{New Spaces in Mathematics \& Physics}}, IHP Paris, Sept 28 - Oct 2, 2015 (\href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaYMuyr9KII}{video recording}) \item talk at \emph{\href{https://indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/747/}{Topos \`a{} l'IHES}}, IHES Paris, Nov. 25-27, 2015 (\href{https://youtu.be/_O41kh0z_UM}{video recording}) \end{itemize} \hypertarget{teaching}{}\subsection*{{teaching}}\label{teaching} See behind the links for detailed lecture notes that I wrote. \begin{tabular}{l|l} date&lecture notes\\ \hline winter $\,\,$ 2017&\emph{[[schreiber:Mathematical Quantum Field Theory]]}\\ summer 2017&\emph{[[schreiber:Topological K-Theory]]}\\ summer 2017&\emph{[[Introduction to Topology}\\ winter $\,\,$ 2016&\emph{[[schreiber:From the Superpoint to T-Folds}\\ summer 2016&\emph{[[Introduction to Stable homotopy theory -- S}\\ summer 2016&\emph{[[Introduction to Stable homotopy theory}\\ summer 2015&\emph{[[schreiber:Structure Theory for Higher WZW Terms]]}\\ summer 2015&\emph{[[schreiber:Higher Cartan Geometry]]}\\ summer 2014&\emph{[[schreiber:HAI}\\ \end{tabular} A list of further teaching in the past is \emph{\href{http://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/HomePage#Teaching}{here}}. \hypertarget{publications}{}\subsection*{{publications}}\label{publications} For a list of research articles that I have written see the public preprint server \begin{itemize}% \item \href{https://arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Schreiber_U/0/1/0/all/0/1}{arXiv}, \end{itemize} or my \begin{itemize}% \item \href{http://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/differential+cohomology+in+a+cohesive+topos#Subprojects}{personal record} \end{itemize} Textbooks: \begin{itemize}% \item \emph{[[schreiber:Introduction to Homological algebra]]} \item \emph{[[Introduction to Stable homotopy theory]]} \end{itemize} \hypertarget{invited_talks_and_lectures}{}\subsection*{{invited talks and lectures}}\label{invited_talks_and_lectures} For a chronological list of invited talk and lectures that I have given see here: \begin{itemize}% \item \href{http://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/differential+cohomology+in+a+cohesive+topos#References}{talks and lectures} \end{itemize} \hypertarget{students}{}\subsection*{{students}}\label{students} For a list of students whose thesis work I have been supervising see here: \begin{itemize}% \item \href{http://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/HomePage#students}{students} \end{itemize} \hypertarget{lab}{}\subsection*{{$n$Lab}}\label{lab} I like to put information into context. For that purpose I had started the \begin{itemize}% \item \href{http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/HomePage}{nLab wiki project} \end{itemize} in November 2008. It has now more than 11,600 pages (some very short, but some very long). In May 2015 the $n$Lab installation migrated from a server paid out of my pocket to a server hosted at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, funded by [[Steve Awodey]]`s \href{http://homotopytypetheory.org/2014/04/29/hott-awarded-a-muri/}{MURI grant} for [[homotopy type theory]] research.
