About me

I am a researcher and work as an advanced fellow (which is a 5-year postdoc position) at the ETH-ITS in Zürich. My field of research is mathematical physics.

A lot of my research explores the interplay between moduli spaces and quantum field theory. I am fascinated by the connections between these two domains, due to their foundational significance in their respective field. I like to transform techniques that are established in the quantum field theory community into rigorous tools suitable for addressing problems in pure mathematics. During this process I also aim to improve the general understanding and the predictive power of quantum field theory.

Many objects that I work with can be labeled discrete or tropical geometries. Primarily, I use algebraic topological and combinatorial tools, complemented by methods from algebraic geometry and homological algebra.
