About me

Hello! I am an applied mathematician working at the intersection of discrete mathematics,  geometry and (linear) algebra with a strong interest in applications. Currently, I am a postdoc with Türkü Özlüm Çelik at the Max Planck Institute MPI-CBG in Dresden. Previously, I was a postdoc with Renaud Lambiotte at Oxford, a postdoc with Bernd Sturmfels , Jürgen Jost and Raffaella Mulas at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig and obtained my PhD at Oxford.

In September 2025, I will move to University of Oxford as a Hooke Fellow in the Mathematical Institute.

Research

My research revolves around graphs and their applications. Over the last few years, I have focused on the concept of effective resistance and how it captures the geometry of graphs. Currently, I am interested in discrete curvature and discrete geometry and related questions on matroids, tropical geometry and algebraic statistics.

I have worked on applications such as power grid robustness, network epidemics and polarization in social networks.
