I am a mathematician working as a postdoc in the probability group at the Technical University of Vienna. I'm employed as part of the FWF SFB "Discrete random structures: enumeration and scaling limits". I work on quantum spin systems and 2D classical statistical mechanics models.
In 2023-24 I was a postdoc at Aalto University with Eveliina Peltola; in 2022-23 I was a postdoc at TU Vienna with Marcin Lis, and in 2021-22 I was a postdoc at the University of Vienna with Alexander Glazman.
In 2021 I completed my PhD at Queen Mary University of London. My supervisor was Sasha Sodin.

In the summer term 2024 I taught a Master's course in Percolation at Aalto University.
