Research interests center on degenerations of varieties and modules, combinatorics of polytopes, and modules of generalized loop algebras. He explores connections between PBW filtrations, toric degenerations, and representation theory, with applications to quantum groups and tropical geometry.
Article trends span 2024 preprints on Gröbner bases, symplectic flag varieties, and polytopes, with 2023–2020 works on network coding, fusion products, and Schubert varieties. Collaborations with Xin Fang, Evgeny Feigin, and others emphasize algebraic structures and combinatorial methods.
Roles and Outreach: Deputy Speaker of the CRC/TRR 19 "Symbolic Tools in Mathematics and their Application," Treasurer of "Friends of Oberwolfach," and Patron of the "Syrischer Studierendenverein Aachen." Current research sabbatical at IMPA (2024).
