I am a research associate in the Number Theory Group of King's College London, working with Rachel Newton.

From 2020 until 2021 I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Nonlinear Algebra group at MPI-MiS in Leipzig. Before this I was a PhD student under the supervision of Martin Bright and Ronald van Luijk at Universiteit Leiden. In my thesis I worked on the density of rational points and the configurations of lines on del Pezzo surfaces of degree one, and their relation to torsion points on elliptic fibrations.

Here is my CV (updated February 2021), and here is my PhD thesis.
