About me
Hi! I am a PhD student at Freie Universität Berlin broadly interested in
interactions between algebraic geometry and combinatorics.
I started my PhD in
September 2024 under the supervision of
Christian Haase (FU Berlin) and
Leonid Monin (EPFL),
in the project
"K-Theory and Normal Complexes",
which is part of the
SPP Combinatorial Synergies.
The goal of this project is to study Chow rings and K-rings of certain toric
varieties, with the aim of finding interesting combinatorial interpretations of
some computations in these rings.
More generally, I am interested in tropical geometry and algebraic combinatorics -
I enjoy studying interactions between objects such as matroids, hyperplane arrangements,
polytopes and objects from algebraic geometry.
