Biography

Since embarking on my mathematical journey thirty years ago, my passion and inspiration have continued to flourish. I became captivated by the intricate layers, beauty, and power of mathematics, which serves as a foundational pillar for modern society. My professional journey has been about unveiling the mysteries of mathematics through research and teaching, helping to shape and nurture a vibrant and sustainable mathematical community for the future. My research primarily spans the fascinating realms of complex variables, pluripotential theory, and differential geometry, including deep explorations of topics ranging from Kähler geometry to polyfold theory. Currently, my curiosity guides a strong focus on geometric deep learning and work within the project 'Neural Differential Equations M-polyfolds', emphasizing stochastic geometry and urban regional planning. I believe in making mathematics accessible and meaningful to a broader audience, leading me to explore educational psychology and the perceptions among specific student groups. In addition to my professional interests, I enjoy spending time with my son at his training sessions and experimenting with cooking at home, where I find joy in creating imaginative culinary dishes.
