I'm a PhD student at the algebra section at KU Leuven under supervision of Prof. Raf Cluckers. I am broadly interested in the following topics:

• Tame non-Archimedean geometry, Hensel minimality and motivic integration.

• The geometry of curves, scrollar invariants, and syzygies.

• Rational points on varieties, curves over finite fields, and point-counting.

• Number theory and successive minima.

My CV can be found here (last updated on 27/05/2021).
