Ivan Yakovlev

I am currently a postdoc at the Institut de Mathématiques d'Orsay in the group of Nicolas Curien. .

Before this I was a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. I completed my PhD at LaBRI in Bordeaux, under the supervision of Vincent Delecroix.

Research interests

Enumerative geometry of hyperbolic / translation / square-tiled surfaces, moduli spaces of curves and differentials, Masur--Veech volumes, intersection theory, Hurwitz numbers.

Particular interest in related combinatorial structures: ribbon graphs (combinatorial maps), cellular decompositions of moduli spaces, polytopes, hyperplane arrangements, curve complexes, mapping class groups. I am also interested in algorithmic problems on surfaces and I enjoy experimenting in SageMath.
