THE HEIDELBERG EXPERIMENTAL GEOMETRY LAB (HEGL)
The Heidelberg Experimental Geometry Lab (HEGL) is a community that brings researchers at all levels together to learn and exchange on topics such as mathematics research, experimental mathematics, math visualization, and applications of geometry to machine learning. The Lab also offers cutting-edge technology for 3D printing, 3D rendering, virtual reality, data-intensive computing, laser engraving, and more. HEGL is an inclusive space for all to learn and have fun.
I contributed to the Heidelberg Experimental Geometry Lab by setting it up in 2020/21 and by mentoring undergraduate projects.
Mentor: Dr. Valentina Disarlo, Dr. Diaaeldin Taha
Team members: Ines Bultmann, Filippa Piazolo
Details: In this project, we create a 2D hyperbolic geometry game engine that implements basic features such as free motion, collision detection, and portals. Using our game engine, we build hyperbolic analogues of the classical arcade game Asteroids (1979).

Details: The project analyzes cooperation and cosponsoring in the US Senate, focusing on the legislative process and how bills become law. We used data from the US government's API, covering the period from January 1973 to January 2023, to examine cross-party cooperation and cosponsorship dynamics.
Methodologies: API, data analysis, Spectral Clustering
