TITLE: The journey of a tropical geometer through four countries ABSTRACT: The aim of my talk is two-fold. I will briefly describe what is tropical geometry and how the development of my mathematical career was influenced by the interdisciplinary nature of my research field. Along the way, I will highlight some of my experiences as an undergraduate and Master student in Argentina, my graduate years at UC Berkeley and the three (short) postdoctoral positions I held in three different countries, and how they came into being.
