I am Juniorprofessor for Algebraic Geometry at the Faculty of Mathematics at Ruhr-University Bochum. My research focus lies in birational geometry. Some of the objects and questions that I like to reflect on are: groups of automorphisms of complex algebraic varieties, various cones (nef, movable, big, effective) providing notions of positivity for divisors on complex projective varieties, the Morrison-Kawamata-Totaro cone conjecture, techniques of the Minimal Model Program, positivity properties of the (co)tangent sheaves and their Chern classes, families of rational curves deforming in a (most often Fano) variety.

Before coming to Bochum, I obtained my Ph.D. in February 2023 at Université Côte d'Azur, Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné, Nice, France, under the supervision of Andreas Höring.

From May 2023 to September 2024, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the group led by Gavril Farkas at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, in a position partially funded by the ERC Advanced Grant SYZYGY: Syzgies, moduli and topological invariants of groups.

What's up here in Bochum

• Together with the group of Christian Lehn, we organize a guest seminar on Algebraic and Complex Geometry on Mondays 10:00 - 12:00 in Room IA 1/75. More information on that soon.

Where I'll be next

• November 18th - 22nd: POK0 working group's retreat in Bochum.
• December 2nd - 6th: Conference Algebraic Geometry in Taipei
• December 7th - 9th: Workshop Women in Algebra and Symbolic Computation III in Bad Dürkheim.
• March 13th: Séminaire Géométrie algébrique in Lille.
• March 14th: Séminaire Géométrie in Bordeaux.
