New Head Of Department at the Department Of Mathematics
After 24 years at the department, Professor Andreas Basse-O’Connor is taking over as head of the Department of Mathematics. His new job starts on April 1st.
Professor of Stochastics Andreas Basse-O’Connor will be the new head of the Department of Mathematics on 1 April. He feels very privileged to take on this position after 24 years at the institute – first as a student and then as an employee – he says in a news item from the Faculty of Natural Sciences.
“As Head of Department, I will work to maintain and further develop our strong position in basic research and education. I will also ensure that our researchers have optimal conditions to put their mathematical expertise to use through dissemination and interdisciplinary collaboration. The goal is a department where deep subject expertise is both nurtured and generates broad value,” he says in the news article.
Andreas Basse-O'Connor has been Deputy Head of Research since 2023. However, when he takes up his post as head of department on 1 April, he plans to put his research on hold to focus on managing the department.
“I need to focus 100 percent on the department. There is so much we need to keep working on, and I also believe the department is best served by me focusing on the task at hand,” he says.
Andreas Basse-O'Connor takes over the position from Professor Jacob Schach Møller, who has decided to return to full-time research and teaching after nine years as head of department.
