I finished my PhD in July 2022, at Univesity of Waterloo under the supervision of Alexandru Nica. From 2022 to 2025 I hold a posdoctoral position at Texas A&M University, my mentor was Michael Anshelevich.

My research is in Finite Free Probability: a new topic that lies in the intersection between free probability, roots of polynomials, random matrices and combinatorics. I also enjoy working with non-commutative probability, infinitesimal freeness, random matrices and all sorts of set partitions and cumulants.

Here is my list of publications. All of them are available on arXiv. Here is my google scholar profile, and this is my CV.
