Nationality: British POEMA Host Institution: Sorbonne Universite (SU) Background: MSc Mathematics with Study Abroad – University of Bristol Master’s Project: On Toric Ideals and Polyhedral Geometry (Supervisor: Fatemeh Mohammadi) |
Research interests: Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, Gröbner Bases and their applications, Algebraic Geometry, Algebraic Topology
POEMA project: Exact algorithms for structured polynomial optimization
Goals:
- generalising critical point method algorithms to the semi-algebraic set case
- obtain variants of Ehresmann’s fibration theorem for non-proper situations and using this result to design algorithms deciding the existence of an infimum
