I am a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in 2025, participating in Term II of the special year on Algebraic and Geometric Combinatorics.
Afterwards, I will return to be a Postdoctoral Reseach Associate at Durham University working with Yue Ren.
I have recently successfully defended my PhD at the Universität Tübingen, advised by Hannah Markwig.
Current CV (November 2024).
My research interests lie in the intersection of combinatorics and algebraic geometry and center around tropical geometry. In particular, I like working with valuated matroids and tropical linear spaces, Coxeter matroids. Currently, I am interested in developing a tropical analogue of geometric representation theory.
