پژوهشگر
Máté L. Telek is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI-MiS) in Leipzig, Germany, working in the Nonlinear Algebra research group under Bernd Sturmfels. He completed his PhD in 2024 at the University of Copenhagen under Elisenda Feliu and will move to Leipzig University in January 2026 with a prestigious Marie Curie Fellowship to work on the project 'Positive Solutions in the Sciences'. His educational background includes a PhD from the University of Copenhagen (2024), an M.Sc. from Heidelberg University (2020), and a B.Sc. from Heidelberg University (2018). His doctoral thesis was titled 'Signed Support of Multivariate Polynomials and Applications'. Telek's research centers on real algebraic geometry and tropical geometry, with significant applications in particle physics and chemical reaction networks. His work bridges abstract mathematical theory with practical scientific problems, particularly in understanding the geometric structures underlying polynomial systems and their positive solutions. He has made notable contributions to generalizing Descartes' rule of signs to multivariate settings and analyzing connectivity in parameter regions of biochemical networks. His publication record shows a strong focus on computational aspects of algebraic geometry, with recent papers exploring connections between tropical geometry, Feynman integrals in physics, and multistationarity in reaction networks. His work demonstrates interdisciplinary reach spanning pure mathematics, theoretical physics, and systems biology. Scientific Awards: Best Talk Award at the Conference on Geometry: Theory and Applications Telek has been actively involved in the academic community through conference presentations, seminar organization (including a minisymposium at SIAM-AG25), and participation in numerous workshops. His teaching experience includes leading exercises for graduate courses at both MPI-MiS Leipzig and the University of Copenhagen, focusing on applied algebra and geometry. As a member of the Nonlinear Algebra group at MPI-MiS, Telek collaborates with an international team of researchers exploring the frontiers of algebraic methods in science. His upcoming move to Leipzig University with a Marie Curie Fellowship indicates significant recognition of his research potential and promise for future contributions to the field.
