About me : I am currently a Researcher at Kavli, IPMU which is located just outside Tokyo. Before this I was a post-doctoral scholar at Imperial College, London and prior to that I was a post-doc at the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. In 2015, I was awarded a PhD. degree from the Université Paris VI. I wrote my thesis on non-Archimedean geometry which is a sub-field of Algebraic geometry.

Research Interests : My research interests lie in the field of non-Archimedean geometry which has seen a lot of activity in recent years. I work on the homotopy theory of certain Berkovich analytic spaces and on the étale cohomology of finite type, separated adic spaces. Recently, I have tried to study the extent to which the constructions of Hrushovski-Loeser in the book "Non-archimedean tame topology and stably dominated types" can be made functorially. Another project I am very interested is inspired by ideas of Peter Scholze and aims to develop a theory of perverse sheaves in the context of adic spaces.
