Hi, I'm Simona Veselá, a PhD. student at the Max-Planck-Institute für Mathematik in Bonn, Germany and the Universität Bonn. My interests are in the field of algebraic and geometric topology, in particular low dimensional topology. My supervisors are Prof. Peter Teichner(MPIM) and Prof. Wolfgang Lück(Uni of Bonn).
