I am currently a research fellow working with Wolfgang Schief at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.  I previously worked at SISSA, Italy, The University of Tokyo, Japan, and The Technical University of Berlin, Germany.

My research interests are in the area of integrable systems, including lattice models of statistical mechanics, nonlinear difference and differential equations and their solutions, dynamical maps, special functions, and applications to quantum field theories.

My list of publications and preprints are included below.  Preprints of all of my papers are also available on arXiv

This semester I am organising a joint seminar series between UNSW and USYD on the topic of elliptic difference equations with Pieter Roffelsen.   Everyone is welcome, please find more details at the seminar website.
