Research interests
I like investigating problems of a geometric flavour, which appear in connection to areas in discrete geometry such as convex polytopes, simplicial complexes, Coxeter and reflection groups, subword complexes and tropical geometry. In particular, I appreciate working on problems motivated by their connections to subjects of relevance in other combinatorial and algebraic contexts, for example arising in areas such as Hopf algebras and the theory of diagonal harmonics in representation theory.
Some specific areas in which I am interested in are:
