Research Interests
Broadly in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry, with strong interaction with Combinatorial/Computational methods.
- Symbolic and rational symbolic powers; containments and asymptotic invariants (Waldschmidt constants, resurgence).
- Interpolation problems for (fat) points in projective and multi-projective spaces.
- Valuations, integral closure, symbolic Rees algebras; Rees valuations and symbolic polyhedra.
- Combinatorial structures (matroids, Stanley–Reisner ideals, polyhedral techniques) connected to algebraic geometry.
Awards & Honours
- Phillips Distinguished Graduate Research Fellowship — Department of Mathematics, Tulane University.
- 2nd Place in Poster Session Contest — Mathematical Congress of the Americas (MCA 2025).
