I am a postdoctoral researcher at RWTH Aachen University, in the group of Gabriele Nebe, and a guest at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences Leipzig, in the Nonlinear Algebra group of Bernd Sturmfels. My position is funded by the SFB-TRR 195 Symbolic Tools in Mathematics and their Application.

I obtained my PhD from Leiden University in September 2017: my dissertation, with title "Intense automorphisms of finite groups", was supervised by Hendrik Lenstra. After my PhD, from 2017 to 2020, I have been a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Christopher Voll at Bielefeld University. In 2019, I have joined the group of Bernd Sturmfels at the MPI MiS Leipzig.
