RosaWinter
I am a research associate in the Number Theory Group of King's College London, working with Rachel Newton.

From 2020 until 2021 I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Nonlinear Algebra group of Bernd Sturmfels at MPI-MiS in Leipzig. Before this I was a PhD student under the supervision of Martin Bright and Ronald van Luijk at Universiteit Leiden.

My research interests are mainly in arithmetic geometry, more specifically, in the arithmetic of surfaces. I mostly focus on low-degree del Pezzo surfaces, and study their arithmetic, geometric, and combinatorial aspects. More broadly, I like to explore applications of algebraic geometry and number theory to other areas of mathematics.
