Arnaud Vilpert

Hi! I am a first year Ph.D. student at the University of Warwick interested in enumerative geometry.

Born in Geneva, I grew up in a small French village next to the Swiss border (I am binational). I obtained my Master's degree from the Chair of Algebraic Geometry at EPFL under the supervision of Javier Carvajal-Rojas. Before this, I got my Bachelor's degree at EPFL as well.

Le Mont Blanc. Highest summit in Europe, located in my department: la Haute-Savoie.

And also

You can find me running around campus or cheering for Coventry City Football Club at the stadium. I used to play the drums, but I couldn't bring it to England...

I also play chess quite often with the following openings:

  • King's Gambit with white pieces (do not try this at home!)
  • King's Indian Defence with black pieces.
