About

I am a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, where I am part of the Nonlinear Algebra group. I am interested in computational and combinatorial aspects of polyhedral geometry, tropical geometry and commutative algebra. My supervisors are Michael Joswig and Marta Panizzut.

In 2022, I completed my Master's between the University of Padova and the University of Bordeaux, in the ALGANT program. My thesis supervisor was Alessio Sammartano. 

A detailed version of my CV is available on request.

• I was awarded the Young Talent Award by the Fachgruppe Computeralgebra.
