I lead the mathematics group on Algebraic Statistics for Biology at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics and the Center for Systems Biology Dresden (W2 professorship). I am also a Young Investigator in the Department of Mathematics at TU Dresden and affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tirana.
My work is on applied and asymptotic algebra and geometry. Applications include statistics and biology. Tools are from algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, combinatorics, formal language theory and symbolic computation.

2nd MPI (Dresden + Leipzig) Day in Dresden, June 2025
MPI CBG Math Retreat in Poland, May 2025
In July 18-29, 2022 we organized the international CIMPA* summer school Mathematical Methods in Data Analysis at the University of Tirana(UT), Albania. Among the topics, the program included applications of algebra, combinatorics, geometry and software for them. The school was generously supported by UT, the Albanian Academy of Sciences, CIMPA, INRIA, Company NinetyOne, the New York School of Science in Kosovo, The City Hall of Tirana and Tirana European Youth Capital '22**.
In January 20, 2023, the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tirana held Alumni Day.
In May 16, 2024, the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tetova held Women in Mathematics Day.
*taken from the CIMPA webpage: The Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées (CIMPA), founded in France in 1978, is a nonprofit organisation that promotes research in Mathematics in developing countries. Located in Nice, it is a UNESCO Category 2 centre and is part of the Laboratoire d'Excellence CARMIN (Centres d'Accueil et de Rencontres Mathématiques Internationales). It benefits from the financial support of Germany, France, Norway, Spain and Switzerland. CIMPA generously supported the summer school in Tirana, Albania in 2022, which I co-organized.
**Tirana was selected as the European Youth Capital for the year 2022
