Yannik Schuler

Hi! I am a Walter Benjamin fellow of the DFG working in Rahul Pandharipande’s research group at ETH Zürich. 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 enumerative invariants and their moduli spaces, particularly Gromov–Witten and Donaldson–Thomas theory. This research is often inspired by topological string and M-theory. Currently I am studying enumerative invariants of Calabi–Yau fivefolds and their subvarieties, with a focus on correspondences between Gromov–Witten invariants, sheaf counts, and a generalisation of Gopakumar–Vafa invariants predicted to arise from M2-branes.

My name is pronounced [ˈjanɪk ˈʃyːlɐ].

Pronouns: he/him.
