Today is my first day at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Basel (Universität Basel), where I‘m starting a 75% lecturer position. I‘m really looking forward to this new challenge.

In case anybody else is waiting.

TDA positions might be opening in Switzerland in the near future 👀

Have you ever thought about starting an open access mathematics journal? If so, you may be interested in a project that has just been announced to provide such journals with startup funds of up to $10,000, as well as advice from experienced people. mathoa.org/diamond-open-a…

On my way to my first two lectures at the University of Basel. Looking forward to an interesting semester.

The call for papers for #SoCG25 is online! socg25.github.io/socg.html I have the honor to be on the program committee this year, so please send a lot of interesting papers :)

Performed a public service today. Cheers to whomever teaches in this room next.

🚨OPEN PhD position🚨 I am looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join my project group in the Department of Machine Learning and Systems Biology MLSB led by Karsten Borgwardt at Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) near Munich. Deadline November 15th. Please RT.

A new paper on the arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2410.06139 With Oswin Aichholzer, Anna Brötzner and Daniel Perz we study a flip graph on crossing-free almost perfect matchings and show that this flip graph is connected.

Join us on November 8th at 5 pm at Polyterrasse for an important student assembly. In collaboration with Speak Up! and 500 WS, we’ve prepared a manifesto responding to the recent Tagesanzeiger article ("ETH is shocked").
