Research
Recently, I obtained a postdoctoral project from the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency. More information about it can be found here.
I finished my PhD in Mathematics in 2021 at the University of Ljubljana under the supervision of dr. Sandi Klavžar and dr. Csilla Bujtás, and spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow at the Simon Fraser University in Canada working in the research group of dr. Bojan Mohar.
My main research area is graph theory, with occasional topics that focus more on combinatorics or geometry. I have been involved in the research of domination games, the Cops and Robber game, the strong geodetic problem, interval colorings, investigation of several families related to Fibonacci cubes, and more.
Currently, I am also involved in the ERC Karst project.
