I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, working in the Geometry, Groups, and Dynamics group led by Anna Wienhard, since 2025.

I completed my PhD at Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux, in the Geometry group, co-advised by Vincent Delecroix and Elise Goujard.

I am interested in various aspects of surfaces and their moduli spaces.

My research focuses on the geometry and dynamics of translation surfaces and flat cone surfaces. This includes counting problems for cylinders and saddle connections, and their connections with the geometry of moduli spaces.

I also use computational methods to study these questions, often with SageMath.

Here is my CV.
