I am a postdoctoral researcher at RWTH Aachen University, in the group of Gabriele Nebe, and a guest at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences Leipzig, in the Nonlinear Algebra group of Bernd Sturmfels. My position is funded by the SFB-TRR 195 Symbolic Tools in Mathematics and their Application.

I obtained my PhD from Leiden University in September 2017: my dissertation, with title "Intense automorphisms of finite groups", was supervised by Hendrik Lenstra. After my PhD, from 2017 to 2019, I have been a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Christopher Voll at Bielefeld University. In 2019, I have joined the group of Bernd Sturmfels at the MPI MiS Leipzig.

News

Together with Bernd Sturmfels, I am organizing a "Nonlinear Algebra Day" at RWTH Aachen University, on April 6th, 2022. More info coming soon.

For the first time in his life, on September 24th, 2021, Manneken Pis was dressed as a mathematician!
You can see Manneken Pis-thagoras and myself posing together on the top right corner of this page ↗
