(they/them)

I am a second year PhD Student at Heriot-Watt University (in the Algebra, Geometry and Topology group) under the supervision of Laura Ciobanu. Previously, I completed my Masters in Mathematics and Computer Science at University of Oxford.

My interests are in combinatorial and geometric group theory. I am particularly interested in groups acting on trees, Artin groups, and automorphisms and their fixed points.
