I am a Postdoc at the University of Basel in the group of Prof. Philipp Habegger.
From 2024-2025 I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto, working with Prof. Daniel Litt.
I completed my Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia in 2024, working under the supervision of Prof. Dragos Ghioca.
My research interests lie in number theory and Diophantine geometry, as well as their connections to other fields. Some of the things I am interested in include integral points, Diophantine approximation, arithmetic dynamics, Drinfeld modules and the arithmetic of character varieties.
