Oliver Lorscheid

Oliver Lorscheid is an Associate Professor at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Science and Engineering, affiliated with the Bernoulli Institute for Dynamical Systems, Geometry and Mathematical Physics. His research spans algebraic geometry, tropical geometry, F1-geometry, and matroid theory, with applications in combinatorics and number theory.

Education:

• PhD in Mathematics, Utrecht University (2008)
• Master in Mathematics, University of Bonn (2004)

Research Focus: His work bridges combinatorial structures (matroids, quivers) with geometric frameworks (F1-schemes, tropical varieties), exploring unified theories for algebraic objects and their moduli spaces. Recent publications emphasize matroid foundations, F1-building blocks, and automorphic forms.

Awards:

• Von Neumann Fellowship, Institute for Advanced Study (2024)
• Alumni of the Humboldt Foundation (since 2011)

Supervision & Grants: He mentors PhD and Master's students in algebraic combinatorics and geometry. Major grants include Marie Curie Fellowship (EU), FAPERJ Scientist of the State, and multiple CNPq/CAPES awards for workshops on tropical geometry and moduli spaces.

Collaborations & Leadership: Co-organizer of the F1 World Seminar, Algebra Seminar (Groningen), and Geometry of Matroids workshop (IAS). Heads editorial work for Innovations in Incidence Geometry.
