About me
I just started my Ph.D. studies at the University of Oxford and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. I like to think about the interplay between groups and geometry, but I am still in the process of developing more well-defined research interests. You can find out more about me in my CV.
I do not have any publications yet, but …
- My physics thesis focused on understanding the Lee-Yang theorem which is a beautiful theorem in statistical physics related to the occurrence of phase transitions in the Ising model.
- In my mathematics thesis, I explored the visual boundaries of hyperbolic spaces, an amazing example for the interplay between geometric objects and their isometry groups.
- My master’s dissertation delved into Pansu’s quasi-isometric rigidity theorem, which is a deep result in geometric group theory about the rigidity of large-scale geometries of quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and the octonionic hyperbolic plane under quasiisometries, and has fascinating relations to the geometry of Carnot groups.
- Moreover, I did a research internship at the University of Warsaw, working on a project about realising quantum simulators using ultracold Rydberg atoms in circular and elliptic states. You can read more about this in my report about my project or in our preprint.
Teaching
Throughout most of my undergraduate studies, I had the privilege of sharing my passion for mathematics and physics by tutoring linear algebra, theoretical physics and differential geometry.
