I am Willi Kepplinger, a fourth year PhD student supervised by Vera Vértesi and Michael Eichmair. My PhD project is centered around interactions between (Riemannian) Geometry and (Contact) Topology.
Apart from Mathematics I enjoy playing soccer, reading, and scuba diving. I won't say no to bouldering or hiking either, so let me know if you are looking for people to join you!
