I am currently a Research Fellow (Tudományos Munkatárs) at the Erdős Center of the HUN-REN Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics. My Postdoctoral Fellowship is associated with the Simons Semester in Algebraic Geometry.
I obtained my Ph.D. in September 2021 at the Universität des Saarlandes under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Vladimir Lazić.
Afterwards, I held the following postdoctoral positions: From October 2021 to September 2022, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) at the Department of Mathematics of the Universität des Saarlandes (UdS), where I was a member of Prof. Dr. Vladimir Lazić' research group Algebraic and Complex Geometry. From October 2022 to March 2023, I was a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics (MPIM) in Bonn. From April 2023 to August 2026, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow (Collaborateur Scientifique) at the Institute of Mathematics of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where I was a member of Prof. Zsolt Patakfalvi's reseach group Chair of Algebraic Geometry.
