I am a postdoc at Charles University and principal investigator of the Primus grant “Categorical Knörrer periodicity, cluster categories and tensor triangulated geometry”. Isaac Bird and Jordan Williamson are also funded by the grant.
In 2020-2022, I was a postdoc mentored by Jan Šťovíček and funded by the grant "Symmetries, dualities and approximations in derived algebraic geometry and representation theory" and the Charles University Research Center.
Until 2019, I was a PhD student of Igor Burban.
My research interests lie in representation theory of algebras and their cross-connection to algebraic geometry and mirror symmetry through their derived categories. My recent interests revolve around derived Picard groups and criteria for intrinsic formality of algebras.
