Sander P. Zwegers

Sander Pieter Zwegers ( born April 16, 1975 in Oosterhout ) is a Dutch mathematician who deals with modular forms.

Zwegers grew up in s'Gravenmoer and studied at the University of Utrecht, where he was an assistant after graduating at JAC Kolk 1998 ( Theta functions, modular forms Certain Arising from them and Rogers - Ramanujan type identities ). In 2002 he was with Don Zagier ( and Roelof W. Bruggeman ) at Utrecht University PhD ( Mock Theta Functions). He was then at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and at the University College Dublin. He is a professor at the University of Cologne.

Zwegers put forth a context of long enigmatic mock theta functions of Ramanujan with real analytic ( Maass ) modular forms in his thesis. The theory was developed by Ken Ono and Kathrin Bringmann.

In his spare time he is snowboarders.
