Splinter Suidman

In summer 2025, I graduated cum laude with a Master’s degree in Mathematical Sciences from Utrecht University, The Netherlands. In my Master’s thesis ‘Suspension of operads’, supervised by Dr Gijs Heuts, I studied universal properties of operadic suspension in the context of higher algebra. My mathematical interests include homotopy theory, algebraic topology, and (higher) category theory.

Previously, I obtained a double Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics (summa cum laude) and Computing Science (cum laude) at Raboud University in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. My Bachelor’s thesis project, titled ‘Equivariant homotopy theory via orbits’, was in algebraic topology (specifically equivariant homotopy theory) and was supervised by Dr Magdalena Kędziorek.
