I am a first year PhD student at KU Leuven. My advisor is Fatemeh Mohammadi.

My interestes lie in algebraic geometry and combinatorics.

More specifically, I enjoy combinatorial problems arising in the theories of algebraic surfaces, tropical geometry and toric varieties. Recently, I have also been interested in positive geometries and other aspects of positivity.


Starting November 2023, I will be a fwo PhD fellow.
