Research Interests:

She likes to call herself a geometer. She is always fascinated by how geometric structures show themselves in disparate areas of mathematics and build surprising bridges between concepts.

She finds it important to tie her mathematical practice to the real world, be it in terms of understanding biological phenomena better, or be it in terms of supporting technological progress. Currently, she is working in the area of Quantum Computing and Quantum Information, in particular – on developing Quantum Error-Correcting Codes.
