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 (real two-dimensional manifolds) and their associated moduli spaces.

My research focuses on the study of holomorphic and meromorphic Abelian differentials, and flat cone surfaces. I employ combinatorial tools, such as Delaunay triangulations, to study counting problems for saddle connections and cylinders, and compactifications of the moduli spaces.

Here is my CV.
