Sylvy Anscombe

September to December 2024
Host: Franziska Jahnke


Sylvy Anscombe, Maîtresse de Conférences at the Université Paris Cité, is a Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. She works at the interface of mathematical logic and algebra. Her works include a proof of the existential decidability of F_p((t)), uniform existential definability of p-adic holomorphy rings, and a classification of henselian NIP fields in terms of their residue fields.

Amandine Escalier

September 2024
Host: Linus Kramer


We welcome Dr. Amandine Escalier as a new Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. She works in geometric group theory and measured dynamics at Université Lyon 1. She plans to work with Linus Kramer on graph products and right-angled Artin groups, and with David Kerr on orbit equivalence of measurable actions.

Simone Cecchini

July 2024
Host: Rudolf Zeidler


We welcome Dr. Simone Cecchini as a new Young Research Fellow at our Cluster. He is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University and works at the interface of global analysis and topology, where he is particularly known for his contributions to the study of metric properties in scalar curvature geometry.

Philipp Reiser

July 2024
Host: Masoumeh Zarei


We are delighted that Dr. Philipp Reiser joins our Cluster as a new Young Research Fellow. He is motivated by the long-standing question of how the topology and geometry of Riemannian manifolds interact.

Colin Reid

September to December 2023
Host: Katrin Tent and Aleksandra Kwiatkowska


Colin Reid, postdoctoral research fellow at the School of Information and Physical Sciences, University of Newcastle, Australia, joins our Cluster as a Young Research Fellow. He has played a major role in building the modern theory of totally disconnected locally compact (t.d.l.c.) groups, making a number of fundamental discoveries across all aspects of the theory. In 2023, he was awarded the Bessel Research Award.
