Roy Stegeman is a PhD candidate in theoretical physics at the University of Milan. Before starting his PhD, he completed a master’s degree in theoretical physics at Utrecht University with a focus on high-energy physics, specifically string theory, and wrote a thesis on the classification of BPS solutions in five and six dimensional supergravity. Roy joined the the N3PDF team in November 2019, and is also one of the core developers of the international NNPDF collaboration. He is now based in Edinburgh.
