Since January 2026, I have been a postdoctoral researcher at the (RICAM) Institute in Linz, where I also serve as a Principal Investigator under the Erwin Schrödinger Fellowship. Before this, I was a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics (LSE) in the UK, and before that, I held postdoctoral positions at RICAM and the University of Vienna.
My research focuses on incidence geometry and additive combinatorics, and on understanding these areas through tools from algebra, algebraic geometry, and number theory. Incidence geometry studies the structure of configurations of geometric objects, such as points, lines, and planes, through their intersection patterns. A central theme is to understand how algebraic structure emerges from combinatorial constraints on incidences.
More recently, I have been working on problems in the spirit of the Elekes–Szabó framework, which investigates when algebraic relations between several variables admit unexpectedly many solutions on Cartesian products, and how such phenomena are governed by hidden group or functional structures. This perspective connects naturally to classical incidence problems and to questions about functional equations in algebraic and geometric settings.
In parallel, I am also interested in the arithmetic and Galois-theoretic aspects of geometric counting problems with finitely many solutions for fixed parameters, such as classical enumerative problems like lines on cubic surfaces, where the underlying algebraic structure encodes subtle symmetry and monodromy phenomena.
