My name is Konstantinos Tsouvalas and I have been a postdoc at MPI MiS and member of Anna Wienhard's Research Group since September 2023.
Prior to coming to Leipzig, from 2021-2023 I was a CNRS postdoc at I.H.E.S, where my mentor was Fanny Kassel. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor in 2021 under the supervision of Richard Canary.
My research lies at the interface of the areas of discrete subgroups of Lie groups and geometric group theory. I am interested in groups admitting Anosov representations, which is a class of discrete hyperbolic subgroups of matrix groups with special dynamical properties. In collaborative work, I have also focused on constructions of pathological examples of finitely generated groups with restricted discreteness and linearity properties.
Research at MPI MiS is as diverse and multifaceted as the people who pursue it. Our Math Planck People portrait series gives a face to our research and introduces the personalities that make up our institute - our scientists & staff. Meet our brilliant minds!

We’re thrilled to continue our series, showcasing the brilliant minds of our institute! Meet Irina Bobrova, a postdoc in Anna Wienhard’s group on Geometry, Groups, and Dynamics. In this portrait, she shares her passion for mathematics and her life in Leipzig.
The most recent addition to our Math Planck People is postdoc Lisa Seccia. Lisa is researching Combinatorial, Computational, and Pure Commutative Algebra in the Nonlinear Algebra Group.
Alessio Borzì is a recent postdoc in the Nonlinear Algebra group and the latest individual to reveal their academic journey and interests in our Math Planck People series.
Meet the latest addition to our Math Planck People roster: Renata Possobon. She is currently a PhD student in Jürgen Jost's Dynamical Systems Group and shares a closer glimpse into her academic pursuits in our portrait.
We are happy to introduce the next face of our Math Planck People series featuring the brilliant minds that make up our institute – our scientists. Sam G. Krupa is a postdoc in the group of László Székelyhidi. In this personal portrait, he gives an insight into his life and research.
Research at our Institute is as diverse and multifaceted as the people who pursue it. Our new portrait series puts a face to the research topics and introduces the personalities that make up our institute – our scientists. It is our pleasure to introduce the first face of Math Planck People: Leonie Kayser.
