About me

I am a postdoc at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in the group of Gavril Farkas. I received my Ph.D. in 2021 from Stony Brook University, advised by Rob Lazarsfeld and Christian Schnell.

I will be an Assistant professor at University of Kansas in the academic year 2024-2025.

Current research interests

I work in algebraic geometry. In the past few years, together with Christian Schnell, I have been developing a theory of higher multiplier ideals, which generalize multiplier ideals in the sense of Hodge theory (via mixed Hodge modules) and provide more refined invariants for singularities of hypersurfaces. 

I am also interested in other invariants of hypersurfaces: minimal exponent, Bernstein-Sato polynomial, Kashiwara-Malgrange V-filtration and Archimedean zeta function.

Other research interests: geometry of theta divisors on abelian varieties, topology of algebraic maps, Higgs bundles and non-abelian Hodge theory.
