Currently, I am a Heilbronn Research Fellow at University College London. I completed my PhD at Pennsylvania State University in 2021, and my advisor was Professor Kirsten Eisenträger. I enjoy thinking about a wide variety of topics in arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory, including abelian varieties over finite fields, and problems of decidability and definability.
