Welcome! I am a Professor for Algebra and Discrete Mathematics at the Paderborn University.
I am a Principal Investigator at the SFB 326: GAUS. My research program is also funded by DFG-Sachbeihilfe Grant Project No. 456557832 "From Riemann surfaces to tropical curves (and back again)" and by DFG-Sachbeihilfe Grant Project No. 539867663 "Rethinking tropical linear algebra: Buildings, bimatroids, and applications" within the SPP 2458: Combinatorial Synergies .
My research interests are in arithmetic and algebraic geometry as well as in combinatorics, with a particular focus on tropical geometry and moduli spaces, logarithmic and non-Archimedean geometry, matroids and buildings, as well as on vector bundles and combinatorial algebraic geometry.

Short Bio
Short Bio
From May 2018 until March 2025, I was a Research Group Leader and Junior Professor for Number Theory at Goethe University Frankfurt. During that time, from October 2018 until March 2019, I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Warwick, hosted by Diane Maclagan. Before coming to Frankfurt, I was a Postdoc Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, mentored by Mattias Jonsson, a postdoctoral fellow at the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences within the thematic program on Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry, as well as a Hausdorff postdoc at the University of Bonn in the group of Daniel Huybrechts. During Summer 2017 I visited the Research Group in Nonlinear Algebra, led by Bernd Sturmfels, at the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig.
I completed my doctorate at the Department of Mathematics at Brown University with a thesis on the Tropical geometry of logarithmic schemes. My doctoral advisor was Dan Abramovich. I did my undergraduate degree in Mathematics with a minor in Physics at the University of Regensburg, where I wrote an undergraduate thesis under the guidance of Klaus Künnemann. During this time I also spent a year as a visiting graduate student at Brandeis University.

Mathematics is for everyone!
Mathematics is for everyone!
I strongly support the axioms laid out by Federico Ardila.
Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
