I am a sixth year PhD student working with Sam Payne. I am interested in applying tools from Berkovich geometry and tropical geometry to the study of algebro-geometric objects arising from algebraic groups and representation theory, such as spherical varieties. I am on the job market for postdoc positions starting in the 2025-2026 academic year.

I am always happy to talk math, please feel welcome to reach out.
