Guus Regts earned his PhD under supervision of Lex Schrijver at CWI in 2013. He then did a postdoc for two years in the Mathematics Department at the University of Amsterdam. In January 2016, Guus became an assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam.

In his research, Guus enjoys combining ideas and techniques from areas such as representation theory of finite groups, classical invariant theory, complex analysis and basic algebra, and apply them to problems in combinatorics and algorithms.
