Maddie Weinstein

Maddie Weinstein is a second-year PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley. Her advisor is Bernd Sturmfels.

This winter, she visited MPI MiS to work on the papers Offset Hypersurfaces and Persistent Homology of Algebraic Varieties with Emil Horobet and Learning Algebraic Varieties from Samples with Paul Breiding, Sara Kalisnik, and Bernd Sturmfels, and to participate in the Linking Topology to Algebraic Geometry and Statistics (TAGS) workshop.

Back in Leipzig for the summer, she is exploring topics such as the reach of a manifold and Voronoi diagrams. Her favorite Voronoi diagrams can be found on the giraffes at the Leipzig Zoo!
