I am a Walter Craig Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto, since Fall 2024. Previously, I was a Milnor Lecturer in the IMS at Stony Brook University and a Research Associate in the Dynamical Systems group at the University of Liverpool working with Prof. Lasse Rempe. I received my PhD from The Open University under the supervision of Prof. Gwyneth Stallard and Prof. Phil Rippon.
My research is mainly in complex dynamics, in particular the iteration of transcendental entire and meromorphic functions.
