About me
I am currently a Walter-Benjamin-fellow at the University of Freiburg with my project 'Fundamentalgruppe und Divisorenklassengruppe: Endlichkeit und Zusammenspiel' funded by the DFG.
Before that, I was a postdoc at the University of Freiburg in the Arithmetic Geometry group of Prof. Annette Huber-Klawitter.
Even before that, on November 08th, 2019, I defended my PhD thesis entitled "Quotient presentations of Mori Dream Spaces" with summa cum laude under the supervision of Prof. Jürgen Hausen.
I am interested in complex algebraic varieties with klt singularities. In particular, I am working on Mori Dream Spaces and Cox rings, questions surrounding the Minimal Model Program, varieties with group actions, and also on Invariant Theory.
You can find a copy of my CV here.
Also have a look at my private homepage!
Upcoming
- This spring, I will give talks in the Online Algebraic Geometry Seminar at the University of Nottingham and in the Oberseminar Differentialgeometrie at the Universität Freiburg.
- April 9-14th 2023, I will be at the Oberwolfach Workshop 'Komplexe Analysis — Differential and Algebraic methods in Kähler spaces'
- The fall of 2023, together with Roberto Svaldi and Calum Spicer, we participate in the Junior Trimester Program Algebraic geometry: derived categories, Hodge theory, and Chow groups at the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics in Bonn.
