I am a post-doctoral research associate at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig in the groups of Benjamin Gess and Felix Otto. I obtained my PhD in Mathematics in June, 2020 from Imperial College London, under the supervision of Greg Pavliotis and José Antonio Carrillo. I am broadly interested in PDEs and probability.
