About me

I'm Maarten Derickx. I'm currently a postdoc at the university of Zagreb. I received my Ph.D. at the universities of Leiden, Bordeaux and Milano as part of the joint Algant doctorate program.

Software Projects

Together with Barinder Banwait I wrote the programs isogeny-primes to study isogenies of elliptic curves over number fields and quadratic-torsion for determining the posible torsion groups of elliptic curves over different quadratic number fields. Together with Solomon Vishkautsan I wrote a magma package called Chabauty that helps with doing explicit Chabauty computations. I keep all my personal reusable sage and magma functions in two separate packages called MDSage (documentation) and MDMagma.
