Research interests

I am interested in the area of pure mathematics that concerns the interactions between topological dynamical systems, operator algebras, and group theory. I study symbolic dynamical systems, how they are encoded into C*-algebras, and how much dynamical stucture is remembered or lost in this encoding. Using operator algebraic tools, this allows us to derive interesting properties of the original systems.


2024 News

  • I contributed with an extended abstract for the Oberwolfach Report 12 (2024): Combinatorial *-algebras.
  • New preprint on ideal structure of reduced group C*-algebras with Chris Bruce, Kang Li, and Eduardo Scarparo.
  • The Swedish Research Council has awarded me a Starting Grant (2024-2028) for my project "Dynamics, Groups, and C*-algebras: from one to many dimensions".
  • My paper with Toke Meier Carlsen and Aidan Sims on ideal structure of groupoid C*-algebras is accepted for publication in the Journal of the London Mathematical Society.


Kevin Aguyar Brix

I am a mathematician based at Lund University (Sweden), and I am funded by a Starting Grant from the Swedish Research Council (2024-2028).

I have worked as a postdoc at the University of Glasgow (Scotland) and the University of Wollongong (Australia). This was funded by an International postdoctoral grant from the Independent Research Fund Denmark and a Carlsberg Foundation Internationalisation Fellowship. I obtained my PhD in 2019 from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) as a member of the Centre for Symmetry and Deformation under the supervision of Søren Eilers.
