The group develops a new area of Geometric Data Science studying moduli spaces of data objects modulo practical equivalences. The key example is a finite or periodic set of unlabeled points modulo rigid motion or isometry. The major breakthroughs are the Crystal Isometry Principle for periodic structures and complete isometry invariants of unlabeled sets with continuous metrics computable in a polynomial time in the number of given points for a fixed dimension.
