Research Synopsis

The focus of my research lies in the development of numerical methods for nonlinear and high-dimensional data analysis. I am particularly interested in algorithms that preserve geometric structure, and I work on optimal transport problems, classification tasks in machine learning, linear and nonlinear approximation, and applications in biology and cancer research.
