I received fundings from a LMS Early Career Fellowship and the EPSRC as a winner of a prestigious EPSRC Doctoral Prize .
As a pure mathematician, I work in a field called algebraic K-theory, a fascinating subject bridging algebra, geometry and topology. This is one of the purest, newest and technically most demanding fields of pure Mathematics and will certainly play a crucial role in the area over the next few decades.
As an applied mathematician an I am also working in the field of Geometric Deep Learning, where, collaborating with both academics and private companies I study cutting edge techniques to solve real world problems coming from many different areas (e.g. biotech).
I got a PhD in Mathematics in 2019 from the University of Warwick, my advisor was Marco Schlichting.
