Towards a Geometric Understanding of the 4-Dimensional Point Groups

Develops a geometric framework for understanding the 4-dimensional point groups through discrete Hopf fibrations and polar orbit polytopes, providing visual and structural insight into these symmetry groups.

On the Dimensions of the Realization Spaces of Polytopes

Studies the dimension of the realization space of convex polytopes, establishing new bounds and results for families of polytopes with restricted combinatorial types.

Thesis

On 4-Dimensional Point Groups and on Realization Spaces of Polytopes

Doctoral dissertation combining two lines of research: the geometry of 4-dimensional point groups via discrete Hopf fibrations, and the dimension theory of realization spaces of convex polytopes.
