Research interests

Birational classification of algebraic varieties and derived categories of algebraic varieties. More specifically:

• Campana's birational classification program and differential forms therein.
  (See this talk for more details.)
• Semiorthogonal decomopositions and their relation to the minimal model program.
  (See this talk for more details.)

Claude AI

I started using Claude AI for math research and other tasks in January 2025. I was pleasantly surprised by how convenient it is, especially with the custom style of response specified here:
github.com/pedro-nunez/claude

Thanks to Bastiaan Cnossen for introducing this to me!

LaTeX templates

• My basic LaTeX templates. They are a bit minimalistic, and they include a script to quickly create new LaTeX documents with corresponding (private) GitHub repository from a Linux terminal.
• Pieter Belman's GitHub LaTeX template. It comes with a very nice GitHub workflow, which allows you to compile the PDF file directly on GitHub. So you can even edit and compile your TeX files comfortably on your phone.
