Fred Van Oystaeyen

Fred Van Oystaeyen (born 1947), also Freddy van Oystaeyen, is a mathematician and professor of mathematics at the University of Antwerp.

He has pioneered work on noncommutative geometry, in particular noncommutative algebraic geometry.

In 1972, Fred Van Oystaeyen obtained his Ph.D. from the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam. In 1975 he became professor at the University of Antwerp, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.

Van Oystaeyen has well over 200 scientific papers and several books. His most recent book, Virtual Topology and Functor Geometry, provides an introduction to noncommutative topology.

At the occasion of his 60th birthday, a conference in his honour was held in Almería, September 17 to 22, 2007, on march 25th 2011 he received his first honorary doctorate from that same university, Universidad de Almería.
