Nonlinear Algebra People - 2022

Raluca Vlad

July 6, 2022

My name is Raluca Vlad and I will be starting as a first-year PhD student at Brown University in the fall. I do not yet have very well-defined research interests, but I like algebraic geometry and combinatorics and I am hoping for my work to somehow lie at the interface of the two. This summer, I am visiting the nonlinear algebra group at the MPI and working on a project about canonical curves and matroids.

Outside of math, I like hiking, classical music, and ballet, which I did for 15 years before going to college. I also love pretzels, so I am very happy to be in Germany for the summer.
