About me
I'm a PhD student at KU Leuven under the supervision of Raf Cluckers.
My research mainly focuses on the application of model theory to tame geometry, including uniform and motivic integration.

Activities
Reading groups
In the spring of 2024 I am co-organizing a reading group on Berkovich geometry with a view towards Hrushovski-Loeser spaces together with Floris Vermeulen, Art Waeterschoot, Michaël Maex and Tom Biesbrouck.
In the fall of 2023 I co-organized a study group on Hrushovski-Kazhdan motivic integration, with Floris Vermeulen.
I also participated and gave talks in study groups on
Motivic integration,
