Matroids in OSCAR
Jointly with Benjamin Schröter and Daniel Corey, I developed an OSCAR module for matroids.

Assistant professor (Juniorprofessor)
My research connects combinatorics, algebra and geometry, with a focus on hyperplane arrangements, matroids and polytopes.
I use and develop experimental and computational tools to study these structures.

Courses at Bielefeld University
Current · Winter term 2026/27
Proseminar
I gave summer courses for high school students at the German Pupils Academy (Deutsche SchülerAkademie) on linear optimization (2016 and 2018), topological data analysis (2019), and Gödel's incompleteness theorems (2022).
Conferences, workshops and travel
Miscellaneous programs I participated in: International Summer Science Institute, Deutsche Schülerakademie, Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik and Früheinstieg ins Mathematikstudium.
Tools for computational mathematics
Jointly with Benjamin Schröter and Daniel Corey, I developed an OSCAR module for matroids.
Taylor Brysiewicz, Holger Eble, and I wrote the Julia package CountingChambers.jl. This package counts the chambers of a hyperplane arrangement by computing its characteristic polynomial. It performs this computation via a modified deletion-restriction algorithm which takes advantage of the arrangement's symmetries.
In joint work with Mohamed Barakat, I wrote the GAP package MatroidGeneration to create an ArangoDB database of all rank 3 matroids up to size 14 whose characteristic polynomial factors over the integers. These matroids are among others relevant in the study of free or supersolvable hyperplane arrangements. Feel free to try it and contact us for questions, suggestions or feedback.
Biography, people and projects
Previously, I worked at the Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics in Bonn to develop and apply tools from combinatorial optimization in a chip design project in cooperation with IBM.
