I am a Visiting Research Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park.
I am also an affiliate at Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication at The George Washington University, where since September 2024 I have hosted a monthly series of discussions on public diplomacy.
I have a long-standing collaboration with the Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas, where I served as a Dole Fellow in Spring 2023.
I am on leave from the University of Prishtina.
My mathematical research is in the areas of Representation Theory, Algebraic Geometry, Number Theory and combinatorial aspects thereof. I have given talks on my research at many universities. For reprints and preprints, please visit my Research page.
Mathematics is not my only passion. From June 2016 until August 2021 I served as Kosovo's Ambassador to France. In 2011 I served as a foreign policy advisor to the President of Kosovo, Ms. Atifete Jahjaga.
In 2008, together with colleagues, I founded the Kosovar Mathematical Society and served as its first President (2008-2012).
I have served or serve as a member in supervisory boards as well as in advisory or consultant roles for various private and state institutions and think tanks and non-governmental organizations.
I have won scholarships, awards and honors both in the United States and in Europe for my research and teaching. In 2022 I was happy to receive the insignia of Commander of the French Legion of Honor.
I have a PhD (2008) and MS (2004) from the University of Chicago, an MA St (2003) from the University of Cambridge, and a Diploma (2002) from the University of Prishtina, all in mathematics.
