Welcome

Research
My main research interests lie in moduli spaces of discrete structures and their flexibility. Below is my thesis and, after a long health related break, more work is in progress. Even though Stoker's Problem has been solved affirmatively in the interim, what constitutes flexibility and how to solve many other geometric realization problems remains wide open.

Find 'Steffens flexible polyhedron' on cut-up-and-fold-it.
