My research focuses on maps on surfaces and their underlying combinatorial structures. I study these objects from the perspectives of algebraic and topological graph theory, with particular emphasis on symmetry and group actions. A central goal of my work is to apply group-theoretical methods to understand maps and their realisations as polyhedra in Euclidean three-space. My research lies at the intersection of algebraic combinatorics, topological graph theory, and computational geometry. To support this work, I extensively use computer algebra systems such as GAP, Maple, Julia, and Magma, and explore applications ranging from pure mathematics to problems in civil engineering and computer vision.
