Florian Frick

Florian Frick is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on geometrizing problems that benefit from understanding global information, utilizing topology and geometry to organize non-local phenomena and detect global obstructions. His work includes topics such as intersection combinatorics of convex hulls, inscribing geometric shapes into curves, and fair division problems in game theory. Frick's research also extends to chromatic numbers of hypergraphs, extremal combinatorics, and packing and covering inequalities. He has published in various journals, including the American Mathematical Monthly and Combinatorica.

Florian Frick is an Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in Discrete Geometry, Combinatorics, and Topology. His research explores deep connections between these fields, focusing on problems such as Tverberg-type theorems, metric reconstruction, and fair division. He investigates the topological properties of geometric configurations, often using tools from algebraic topology and combinatorics. His work includes counterexamples to conjectures, such as the topological Tverberg conjecture, and contributions to the understanding of hyperplane mass partitions and neural codes. Frick's research bridges abstract mathematical theories with applications in computational geometry and topology.
