About

I will be visiting NYU for the 2026/27 academic year.

I’m a mathematics PhD student at UT Austin working with Chiara Damiolini.

Before that I did my M2 at Sorbonne Université with the help of the Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris’ PGSM Master scholarship.

Before that I graduated from the Australian National University with the PhB - Science (Honours).

I’m interested in: full exceptional collections and derived categories in algebraic geometry. Algebraic varieties governed by combinatorial data such as toric varieties, spherical varieties and wonderful compactifications. I also have an affinity for representation theory of all sorts.
