(Click here for my Research Statement.) (Math Subject Classification 13 14 17 20 33 90) My field of research lies at the intersection of algebraic geometry, commutative algebra and representation theory with a focus on computations. Specifically, I study crystallographic symmetries and special functions related to root systems, which give rise to generalized Chebyshev polynomials (click the figures on the right), as well as the invariant theoretic properties of rational, real, complex and symplectic reflection groups. Moreover, I am interested in computations over non-commutative rings and algebras as well as exploiting algebraic structures in optimization. My doctoral thesis entitled "Groupes Cristallographiques et Polynômes de Chebyshev en Optimisation Globale" (Crystallographic Groups and Chebyshev Polynomials in Global Optimization) was supervised by Evelyne Hubert and defended on December 15, 2022 at Inria d'Université Côte d'Azur. The jury consisted of Christine Bachoc, Laurent Baratchart (président du jury), Victor Magron, Gabriele Nebe and Frédéric Patras. To access the thesis, please click here or visit the library of Université Côte d'Azur. The doctorate was part of the POEMA network, supported by European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sk\l odowska-Curie Actions. Currently, I am a mathematics postdoc at the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau, working with Ulrich Thiel on this problem. The project is supported by the Rheinland Pfalz research initiative (SymbTools) and German Research Foundation's transregional collaborative research centre (SFB-TRR 195). Our research group organizes a seminar on representation theory and beyond every fortnight. We are happy to invite new speekers from related fields of research so that our scientific networks can grow and connect. If you are interested in giving a talk and visiting the beautiful Pfalz, feel free to send me a mail.
