I contributed to set up the Heidelberg Experimental Geometry Lab (HEGL) and I am a mentor for undergraduate projects in geometry and visualization, together with our HEGL Manager Dr. Dia Taha.
Mentor: Dr. Valentina Disarlo, Dr. Diaaeldin Taha
Team Members: Ayşegül Peközsoy, Leo Späth, and Klaus Stier
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

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).
