Emre Sertöz

Emre Sertöz is an Assistant Professor at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University, specializing in Algebra, Geometry, and Number Theory. He previously held postdoctoral positions at Leibniz University Hannover, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics (Bonn), and Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (Leipzig).

• PhD in Mathematics from Humboldt University of Berlin
• Short stay at University of Amsterdam during doctoral studies

Research interests include:

• Arithmetic properties of periods of algebraic varieties
• Heights and transcendence theory
• Computation of periods and Picard ranks for surfaces
• Moduli spaces of curves with embellishments
• Enumerative problems in projective geometry
• Numerical methods in algebraic geometry

His work involves developing computational tools like PeriodSuite for period matrix calculations. Key organizational activities include:

• Co-organizing the 2025 Lorentz workshop on recurrence and Diophantine approximation
• Co-organizing workshops at Banff International Research Station and International Congress on Mathematical Software
• Leading reading seminars on arithmetic deformation and mixed Hodge structures
