Since October 2025, I am a postdoc researcher at KU Leuven, Algebra Section, mentored by Raf Cluckers.
Before that, I was an IST-BRIDGE & Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow in Tim Browning’s group, ISTA.
I completed my PhD in Summer 2023, under the supervision of Emmanuel Peyre at Institut Fourier, Université Grenoble Alpes.
My profile picture was taken by Lena Ji 🧁.
mathematical interests
Motivic aspects of a certain number of topics in
- algebraic geometry: Cox rings and applications (distribution of rational points on varieties, moduli spaces of curves, …);
- analytic number theory: circle method, harmonic analysis, zeta functions and their applications to geometry;
- logic: model theory for motivic integration.
upcoming events
- Non-Archimedean geometry in Lille, October 6th-10th, 2025
- Motives in Montpellier Winter School, January 19th-23rd, 2026
- Cox rings and applications Research Schoor, CIRM, March 23rd-27th, 2026
