I am a postdoc in mathematics at the Technical University of Vienna, in the probability group. I'm employed as part of the FWF SFB "Discrete random structures: enumeration and scaling limits".
Previously I was a postdoc at Aalto University with Eveliina Peltola, at TU Vienna with Marcin Lis, and at the University of Vienna with Alexander Glazman.
In 2021 I completed my PhD in maths at Queen Mary University of London. My supervisor was Sasha Sodin.
My research interests include quantum spin systems such as the Heisenberg model and related models, 2D classical lattice models such as percolation, the six-vertex model, and dimer models, and representation theory, for example of Brauer algebras.
