My research is in commutative algebra, combinatorics, and computation with a focus on applications in algebraic statistics.
I am a member of the program committee of the DFG priority program SPP2458 Combinatorial Synergies and PI of the Research Training Group GRK2297 Mathematical Complexity Reduction. Find an overview of my activities here.
My interests include outreach and exploring the interaction of academia and mathematics with society. I regularly post on Mastodon and talk about math in the Eigenraum podcast.
