Research Interests

Algebraic combinatorics

I am interested in the combinatorics of simplicial complexes, in particular in problems concerning the enumeration of their faces and in topics related to the g-conjecture, i.e., the face enumeration of spheres or also more general complexes. Often algebraic methods turn out to be useful for this type of problems.

Combinatorial commutative algebra

I am interested in the study of algebraic and combinatorial properties of (monomial) ideals associated to combinatorial objects such as graphs, posets and simplicial complexes. The aim is to understand how algebraic invariants and properties are influenced by combinatorial properties and vice versa.

Topological combinatorics

The idea of topological combinatorics is to use topological methods in combinatorics. Roughly speaking, one shows that a combinatorial object, such as a graph, a simplicial complex or a matroid exhibits a certain topology property, in order to apply technologies from topology and then to deduce a combinatorial property.

Combinatorics of posets

The combinatorics of partially ordered sets shows several relations to other areas of combinatorics and combinatorial commutative algebra such as order complexes and face lattices of simplicial complexes. Currently, I am also interested in the study of certain monomial ideals associated to isotone maps between posets.

Real algebraic geometry

In this area, my main interest lies in the study of the difference of the cone of non-negative polynomials and the cone of sums of squares. Here, the focus is on the investigation of dimensional differences of exposed faces of those cones, not only in the classical setting but also for general projective varieties.

Discrete and convex geometry

My interests in discrete and convex geometry mainly lie in the study of combinatorics and geometry of polytopes and polyhedra, including e.g., the enumeration of lattice points and subdivisions of polytopes. I am also interested in possible generalizations of Ehrhart theory to a “mixed” setting.
