Ambrus Gergely

Ambrus Gergely is a Research Fellow affiliated with the Geometry Department at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. His work bridges discrete mathematics, convex geometry, and probability theory, focusing on geometric configurations, optimization, and combinatorial problems.

• Research Interests: Discrete Mathematics, Convex Geometry, Probability Theory, Discrete Analysis
• Grants: Combinatorics in Geometry and Number Theory (2020-2025), Limits of discrete structures (ERC, 2014-2019)

His recent publications address vector balancing, Helly-type theorems, and geometric optimization, with a focus on convex bodies, planar sets avoiding unit distances, and extremal problems in discrete geometry. He has made significant contributions to understanding the interplay between convex geometry and probabilistic methods.
