Description of the research topic:
Several questions in convex and discrete geometry may be phrased as approximation problems. A few examples are approximation of a convex body by a polytope with few vertices, quantitative Helly-type problems, finding the shortest non-zero vector in a normed space. Familiarity with these problems, or knowledge of heavy geometric, analytical or combinatorial machinery are not a prerequisite, a keen interest in them is.
Required language skills: English Further requirements: Knowledge of master's level analysis and combinatorics is helpful, but the most important prerequisite is a genuine interest in doing research in mathematics.
