Jesse Peterson

Jesse Peterson is a specialist in Operator Algebras, joining the University of Waterloo after seventeen years at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Peterson studies Von Neumann algebras (non-commutative calculus). He is particularly interested in the connections between these non-commutative spaces and groups of symmetries, and how you can relate these objects to each other and see how one geometric aspect of, say, group theory will present itself in Von Neumann algebras.
