PhD candidate in mathematics
Hi! I am a fourth year PhD student at the London School of Geometry and Number Theory. Since September 2023, I have been working under the supervision of Rachel Newton at KCL. I am mainly interested in algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry, in particular in rational points and Brauer-Manin obstruction for surfaces.
I have co-organised the London Junior Number Theory Seminar for the academic year 2023-2024 and I have co-organised the London Number Theory Study Group for Summer 2025 at KCL.
I am on the academic job market, as I plan to graduate in September 2026.
