April 2026: I was a guest in Fokus
Forschung, a series of interviews about the sciences. Lisa
Kattner and I discussed the necessity of curiosity-driven math
on the one hand, and of an open eye for applications on the other
hand. After that, I illustrated what I do by explaining the notion of
Euclidean distance degree
for a general audience. You can find a recording of my interview on youtube.
It's mostly without image, but in the second half there are two slides
explaining the ED degree.
Spring 2026: After a break, we are re-starting the Intercity Seminar.
Fall 2025: My group's new seminar webpage is up.
March 2-March 20, 2026: Bernoulli

the converence (March 16-20).
