I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics in Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My mentor is Karim Adiprasito.
I completed my Ph.D Degree in Pure Mathematics in May 2022 at the University of Ioannina under the supervision of Stavros Papadakis . You can find my thesis here .
Research Interests: Algebraic Geometry, Commutative Algebra, Combinatorics, Discrete Geometry .

Seminars and Events
I coorganize with Karim Adiprasito, Harald Andrés Helfgott, Ryoshun Oba, and Arina Voorhaar the Combinatorics, Arithmetic and Geometry working group at University of Sorbonne. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested to participate or give a talk.
In the past I organized the KU-Jerusalem Lunch Seminar at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
CONFERENCE NEXT YEAR
In May 2026, I coorganize with Karim Adiprasito, Stavros Papadakis, Evita Nestoridi, Enis Kaya and Christos Tatakis a conference in Mytilini (Greece) related to Combinatorics, Geometry and Algebra. The registration is now open! Join us :-)
