Anna-Laura Sattelberger

Hej hej! Welcome to my website.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. I spent autumn 2021 at the Brummer & Partners MathDataLab at KTH Stockholm. I enjoy maths, music, sport, and art – in particular the combination of them.

I obtained my PhD in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Marco Hien and Prof. Maxim Smirnov at the University of Augsburg. Since July 2019, I’ve been working in the Nonlinear Algebra Group of Prof. Bernd Sturmfels at MPI MiS in Leipzig. In my role as the Equal Opportunity Representative, I represent my colleagues and support the institute in all aspects regarding equal opportunities. You can find more information about me in my CV.

Besides maths, I appreciate excellent espresso and enjoy going on my racing bike or monocycle, playing the piano and the ukulele, abstract painting, and discovering the wonderful surroundings and city of Stockholm.

Together with Miruna-Ştefana Sorea, I am organizing a minisymposium on Algebra and Geometry behind Data at the EWM General Meeting 2022, August 22-26, 2022, at Aalto University. We are happy to have Maria Dostert, Kathlén Kohn, Chiara Meroni, Elima Shehu, and Angélica Torres as our speakers!
The first in-person meeting of AlToGeLiS took place as an all-day event with problem discussion and working sessions on June 17, 2022, at KTH in conjunction with the Conference on the Mathematics of Complex Data. Following the AIM workshop format of moderated discussion sessions, we ran four sessions on algebraic statistics (Carlos Améndola), applied algebraic geometry (Kathlén Kohn), combinatorics and geometry (Katharina Jochemko), and TDA (Martina Scolamiero).
You ever wondered how to compute Bayesian Integrals on Toric Varieties? You can read about it in our article with Michael Borinksy, Bernd Sturmfels, and Simon Telen!
Supplementary material: software and my latest Geometrische Gemeinheit, which was inspired by a toric sector decomposition of the pentagon:
