Chayim Lowen

Welcome to my personal webpage.

I am a fourth-year graduate student at Princeton University. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Toronto in 2023. My advisor is June Huh.

I am interested broadly in algebraic combinatorics and in the interplay between the algebraic, geometric and combinatorial aspects of matroid theory.
