I am an algebraic geometer and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alberta, mentored by Xi Chen. I defended my thesis on July 24, 2025, under the supervision of Steven Lu and Nathan Grieve.

I am interested in birational geometry, particularly in the geography of varieties (following Gang Xiao’s work in dimension two), irregular varieties, and the Mori minimal model program. I am also interested in K-stability. Recently, I have developed a strong interest in problems concerning K3 surfaces and Calabi–Yau threefolds.

I obtained my Master's degree at Toulouse 3 - Paul Sabatier University in 2020.

News !!! Together with Xi Chen and Nathan Grieve, we have proved Xiao's Conjecture on canonically fibered surfaces.
