This event is in the past.It took place on May 4, 2026 at East Hall.


Tropical linear spaces behave in delightfully unexpected ways. This dissertation defense explores their quirky incidence geometry, introduces relative Dressians as geometric tools, and connects the dots to Lorentzian polynomials and hyperfield Grassmannians. A deep dive for the mathematically curious.
