I'm currently a teaching fellow at the University of Warwick. From October, I will be an EPSRC Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Warwick. I completed my PhD at the University of Sheffield in 2024, under the supervision of Dr. Frazer Jarvis.
I'm interested in the local and global arithmetic of curves, rational points on curves, arithmetic statistics, computational number theory, and the explicit resolution of Diophantine equations.
I am co-organising the Warwick Number Theory Seminar this year (26-27).
