Welcome to my home page!
This academic year I'm a postdoc at Regensburg University,
in the research group of Marc Hoyois.
The focus of our research group is motivic homotopy theory,
which applies powerful methods of algebraic topology
to shed light on mysteries of algebraic geometry.
We are partly supported by SFB 1085 "Higher invariants".
I did my PhD under supervision of Marc Levine
at the
Duisburg-Essen University.
And here is a story how my PhD program started: Jail-dreaming
"The more I learned, the more conscious did I become of the fact that I was ridiculous. So that for me my years of hard work at the university seem in the end to have existed for the sole purpose of demonstrating and proving to me, the more deeply engrossed I became in my studies, that I was an utterly absurd person."

My News
- A shortened version of my thesis on The unit map of MSL is
finally on arxiv!
-
Deloop3 is ready - enjoy! :) This episode is on motivic Thom spectra.
- I will give a talk on 30th September in the Meeting of the
DFG Priority Programme 1786 in Essen
and during 3-4 October in the Workshop on Algebraic Geometry and Homotopy Theory in Nijmegen.
Title: Modules over algebraic cobordism
Abstract: When k is a field with resolution of singularities, it is known that Voevodsky’s category of motives DM(k) is equivalent to the
category of modules over the motivic cohomology spectrum HZ. This means that a structure of an HZ-module on a motivic spectrum is equivalent to a structure of transfers in the sense of Voevodsky.
In this talk, we will discuss an analogous result for modules over the algebraic cobordism spectrum MGL. Concretely, a structure of an MGL-module is equivalent to a structure of coherent
transfers along finite syntomic maps, over arbitrary base scheme. Time permitting, we will see a generalization of this result to modules over other motivic Thom spectra, such as the algebraic
special linear cobordism spectrum MSL. This is joint work with Elden Elmanto, Marc Hoyois, Adeel Khan and Vladimir Sosnilo.
- On 10th September I will give a talk in the conference "Emerging research in algebraic groups, motives and K-theory"
in Euler Institute, St. Petersburg.
Title: Higher Chow-Witt groups
Abstract: Algebraic K-theory of smooth schemes is built out of blocks given by motivic cohomology, via a spectral sequence. Motivic
cohomology groups, defined as hypercohomology groups of a motivic analogue of the singular chain complex, have a beautiful geometric presentation in terms of algebraic cycles, by
higher Chow groups. For hermitian K-theory there is a similar spectral sequence, however in this case the spectral sequence has additional terms, given by the Milnor-Witt motivic
cohomology of Calmès-Fasel. In this talk, we provide a geometric presentation of MW-motivic cohomology in the flavour of higher Chow groups. The main ingredient is our computation of
Levine’s homotopy coniveau tower for “discrete” motivic spectra. This is joint work with Tom Bachmann.
