Assistant Professor
Emre Sertöz is an assistant professor with tenure in the Algebra, Geometry, and Number Theory group at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University. Prior to his current position, he held postdoctoral positions at Leibniz University Hannover, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, and Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. He completed his PhD in Mathematics at Humboldt University of Berlin with a short stay at University of Amsterdam. His educational background includes: PhD in Mathematics, Humboldt University of Berlin (with a short stay at University of Amsterdam) Dr. Sertöz's research focuses on the intersection of algebraic geometry, number theory, and computational mathematics. His work primarily explores the arithmetic properties of periods of algebraic varieties, computational methods in algebraic geometry, and moduli spaces. He has developed computational tools like PeriodSuite for calculating periods and Picard ranks of surfaces. His research bridges theoretical mathematics with practical computational approaches, making significant contributions to understanding the transcendental aspects of algebraic varieties. His scholarly contributions have been published in prestigious journals including the Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Algebra & Number Theory, and SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry. His work shows a strong trend toward integrating computational methods with classical algebraic geometry problems, particularly in the areas of period computation, Hodge theory, and moduli spaces. Dr. Sertöz has received recognition for his work through invitations to present at notable venues such as Oberwolfach, and his research has been supported through various academic positions at prestigious institutions. As an advisor, Dr. Sertöz has mentored several Master's students including Rafael Mohr, Samuele Pollaci, and Kamillo Ferry. His organizational contributions include co-organizing workshops and seminars on topics ranging from computational geometry to Hodge structures, demonstrating his commitment to advancing research in his field. His current and upcoming activities include organizing the Lorentz workshop "Recurrence, transcendence, and Diophantine approximation" in July 2025, and various reading seminars on advanced topics in algebraic geometry.
