I am a postdoctoral research associate working with Julia Wolf. Previously, I was a PhD student at the University of Leeds, supervised by Pantelis Eleftheriou and Vincenzo Mantova.

My research is in interactions between model theory (a branch of mathematical logic) and combinatorics. Model theory provides a beautiful framework to study diverse mathematical objects from a foundational, structural point of view. I am particularly interested in the model-theoretic setting of distality and finding tame combinatorial behaviour within. Conversely, I am also interested in using combinatorial intuition to guide developments in distality and related settings. My latest pet endeavour is to develop the theories of higher-arity distality and hypergraph distality by using each to inform the other.
