Short-ish bio

I am originally from Mauritius (a tiny island off the east coast of Africa, and former home of the dodo). I completed my primary and secondary education there.

In 2012, I moved to the UK to pursue my undergraduate studies in Mathematics at University College London (UCL), supported by a scholarship from the Government of Mauritius.

In 2016, I started my PhD in Mathematics at UCL under the joint supervision of Prof. Jason Lotay (then at UCL, now at Oxford) and  Prof. Simon Salamon (KCL). My PhD was funded by the LSGNT through EPSRC grant EP/L015234/1, together with a Graduate Research Scholarship (GRS) and an Overseas Research Scholarship (ORS) from UCL.

In 2020, I successfully defended my PhD thesis (my examiners were Lorenzo Foscolo (UCL) and Andrew Dancer (Oxford)). I was due to start a postdoctoral position with Chengjian Yao at ShanghaiTech University. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was unable to travel to China and eventually had to forgo the position.

In 2021, I moved to Brazil to start a postdoctoral position with Henrique Sá Earp at the University of Campinas (Unicamp), funded by FAPESP grants 21/07249-0 and 23/12372-1.

From 2024 to 2025, I was on leave from Unicamp to take up a postdoctoral position (assegnista di ricerca) at the University of Turin, working with Anna Fino and Luigi Vezzoni.

Since February 2026, I have been a Samuel Eilenberg Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mathematics, University of Warsaw.

Languages

Aside from English, I am fluent in French, Hindi, and Mauritian Creole (my native language). I also speak a little Brazilian Portuguese.
