REMOLD

We would like to introduce the nine doctoral candidates that will work in REMOLD.

• Andrea Bignami is working at Radboud University Nijmegen under the supervision of Victoria Hoskins. His research in REMOLD aspires to compute motives of stacks of principal bundles over curves. His research interests focus on the study of moduli spaces.
  He attended his master at the University of Milano and Universität Duisburg-Essen in the ALGANT program.
• Antoine Labelle is working in Bonn under the supervision of Catharina Stroppel and Jens Eberhardt. His research for REMOLD revolves around K-theoretic analogues of Soergel bimodules and equivariant K-motives on flag varieties. More generally, he is interested in any algebro-geometric aspects of reductive groups and their representations.
  He completed his B. Sc. and M. Sc. at McGill University under the supervision of Joel Kamnitzer, during which he worked among other things on Hilbert series of Zastava spaces and Whittaker vectors, as well as on bi-infinite Bott-Samelson varieties in connection to category O for shifted Yangians.
  Outside of math, he enjoys board games, bouldering and camping.
• Ayman Toufik is based in Freiburg and is working under the supervision of Wolfgang Soergel and Frédéric Déglise. His research interests are mostly centered around algebraic geometry, motives and K-theory.
  He completed his Msc at the Université Paris-cité, where he wrote his thesis on in non A^1-invariant motivic homotopy under the supervision of Bruno Kahn.
  Alongside Leonardo, he is one of the two representatives of the REMOLD doctoral students.
• Ilan Zysman is working at the University of Padova on stratified motives on the affine Grassmannian. His research focuses on motivic aspects of the geometric Langlands program.
  He previously studied mathematics at the University of Rennes for his bachelor’s degree, and at the University of Paris-Saclay for his master’s, where he worked on a twisted version of the Geometric Satake equivalence, under the supervision of Prof. Sergey Lysenko.
• Leonardo Colombo is working at the ENS Lyon, under the supervision of Frédéric Déglise and Jens Eberhardt. His research focuses on non-homotopy invariant K-motives.
  He obtained his Bachelor’s degree at the University of Milano and his Master’s degree at the Universities of Milano and Regensburg, through the ALGANT program. He wrote his master thesis on the product theorem of Faltings, concerning product subvarieties of multi-projective space and their heights, under supervision of Prof. Walter Gubler.
  Alongside Ayman is one of the two representatives of the REMOLD doctoral students.
• Michał Mrugała is one of the two students at ENS Lyon. His research is concerned with studying intersection cohomology of Shimura varieties, in particular their minimal compactifications.
  Michał has previously studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge at the Bachelor and Master’s level, where he wrote his Part III thesis on the local moduli of abelian varieties and the Serre-Tate theorem under the supervision of Dr Rong Zhou.
  In his free time he enjoys indoor and outdoor bouldering.
• Thomas Karamanis is working at the University of Milano. His research focuses on arithmetic geometry, in particular on motivic aspects of the geometric Langlands program. He is also interested in Iwasawa theory and the arithmetic of abelian varieties.
  He previously studied mathematics at the University of Ioannina for his bachelor’s degree, and at the University of Bonn for his master’s, where he worked with algebraic monodromy groups and Galois representations of ℓ-adic Tate modules, to study the structure of endomorphism rings of reductions of abelian varieties.
  In addition to mathematics, Thomas has studied classical guitar and music composition.
• Vukašin Mihajlović is working at TU Darmstadt under the supervision of Prof. Timo Richarz. His research is mostly focused on the interaction between geometric representation theory and the theory of motives.
  He completed his BA and MMath at the University of Cambridge, where he wrote his Part III thesis on the Golod-Shafarevich theorem on infinite class field towers, under the supervision of Prof. Jack Thorne.
• Zhen Huang is working at the University of Padova on a derived motivic Satake equivalence. His research interests lie in arithmetic geometry, with a particular focus on the study of moduli spaces of geometric objects.
  He received his B.Sc. in Mathematics from Nankai University and his M.Sc. from the University of Bonn, where he wrote his thesis on the relative representability of certain maps between mixed characteristic local G-shtuka stacks under the supervision of Dr. Ian Gleason.
