Research

• My research evolves around combinatorial objects, algebraic structures on them and their interaction with representation theory and geometry. More specifically matroids, polytopes, Ehrhart theory, (quasi)symmetric functions, Hopf algebras, are usually the kind of objects showing up in my research.
