Background

I am a Lecturer in Pure Mathematics. Before coming to Â鶹´«Ã½, I was a Marie Curie Fellow for two years at the University of Glasgow, and before that, I was an NSERC Banting Fellow with Queen Mary, University of London. I completed my PhD in April 2020 at the University of Victoria, in BC, Canada.

Research

I work in operator algebras. My research lies at the intersection of operator algebras, algebraic number theory, and group theory with connections to topological dynamics.
