I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche, working with Professor Penka Georgieva.

Previously, I held a postdoctoral position at the Weizmann Institute of Science with Professor Ran Tessler. 

I obtained my PhD in mathematics from Sorbonne université in September 2020, under the supervision of  Professor Alessandro Chiodo.

My research area is algebraic geometry and more specifically the enumerative geometry of moduli spaces of curves, with connection to matrix factorizations, derived categories and theoretical physics.
