An introduction to $C^*$-algebras and $K$-theory II
This course extends the introductory study of $C^*$-algebras and $K$-theory introduced last semester, with a focused emphasis on classification of $C^*$-algebras using K-theoretic data. The interplay between functors $K_0$ and $K_1$ will be explored. Computational examples will be provided throughout the course, together with applications relevant to the classification of $C^*$-algebras.

Lecturer Intro
He graduated from the University of Tokyo in 2018, and then became an associate research fellow at University of Tokyo. After finishing his postdocteral position at East China Normal University in 2022, He joined BIMSA as an assistant professor in 2023. He's recent research interests lie in classification theory of C*-algebras, C*-dynamical systems and topological dynamical systems.
