I am currently a research fellow at Queen's University Belfast where my work is supported by the EPSRC grant EP/Z534705/1: "The periodic homotopy type of spaces of embeddings".
My research interests are in homotopy theory and geometry. I'm particularly interested in functor calculus and its relationship to other areas, including chromatic and equivariant homotopy theory and differential topology. For some details on my active projects and published papers, see my research page.
Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mathematics at Radboud University, Nijmegen, working in the group of Magdalena Kędziorek, and before that, a researcher in the Mathematical Institute at Utrecht University, working with Gijs Heuts. During the spring semester of 2022, I participated in the research program Higher algebraic structures in algebra, topology, and geometry, taking place at Institut Mittag-Leffler. Before coming to The Netherlands, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics under the mentorship of Tobias Barthel and a Ph.D. student in the Mathematical Sciences Research Centre at Queen's University, Belfast, under the supervision of David Barnes.
