I am a PhD candidate in mathematics at the University of Bremen. My work sits at the intersection of spectral theory and hyperbolic geometry. I am currently wrapping up my PhD thesis and am open to new opportunities — feel free to reach out.

When I am not doing math, I enjoy working out, yoga, and taking walks while listening to music. Frequent trips to Sweden have me actively learning Swedish, and I am working on improving my pour-over coffee brews.
