About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) mentored by Prof. Liam Solus.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Nonlinear algebra group led by Prof. Bernd Sturmfels at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (Leipzig, Germany) and the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) working with Prof. Elina Robeva.
I spent the fall of 2024 as a semester postdoc at the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) at Brown University (Providence, US) and the spring of 2022 at the University of Alaska (Fairbanks, US) working with Prof. Elizabeth S. Allman and Prof. John A. Rhodes.
I received my PhD from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain) in July 2021, under the supervision of Prof. Marta Casanellas and Prof. Jesús Fernández Sánchez. My thesis is titled Algebraic and semi-algebraic phylogenetic reconstruction.
Research interests
My main research interests lie in the realm of applications of algebraic geometry in Phylogenetics and Algebraic Statistics. I study the geometric and algebraic structure of statistical models and use it to answer questions related to identifiability, parameter estimation, model selection and inference.
