Yannik Schuler

Hi! I am a postdoc in the research group of Rahul Pandharipande at the ETH Zurich. Before that I was research associate in Dhruv Ranganathan’s group in Cambridge and did my PhD under the supervision of Andrea Brini in the Algebraic Geometry and Mathematical Physics group in Sheffield.

My research focuses on questions about enumerative invariants and the geometry of their moduli spaces — mostly in the framework of Gromov–Witten theory. Often these questions are inspired by topological quantum field theories. For instance currently I am working on a mathematical formulation of the refined topological string which I expect will allow us to study topological M-theory indirectly.

I did my undergraduate studies in Bonn and wrote my Master thesis in Physics under the supervision of Albrecht Klemm and Gaëtan Borot.
