Career
Kramer"s work is concerned with applications of groups and representations in mathematical physics. His early work was in nuclear physics. In the early eighties he and his student Roberto Neri developed a mathematical model for quasiperiodic tesselations of three-dimensional space.
Their paper was submitted in 1983 and published in 1984, the same year that Dan Shechtman and his co-workers announced the experimental discovery of an alloy with icosahedral quasi-crystalline structure.
More recently, Kramer has become interested in cosmology and three-dimensional space forms. His scientific œuvre contains more than 200 publications.
