About me
I am currently doing my Ph.D. at the University of Oxford and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. My supervisors are Cornelia Drutu and Anna Wienhard.
I am interested in rigidity phenomena related to rank-one symmetric spaces, but also more general questions around quasiisometries and Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces. You can find out more about me in my CV.
Publication and Preprint
- Realising all countable groups as QI groups (2026, preprint, with Joe MacManus and Lawk Mineh)
- Tunable two-species spin models with Rydberg atoms in circular and elliptical states (2025, in Physical Review Research 7, with Jacek Dobrzyniecki and Michał Tomza)
Here are some other things I wrote
- My physics thesis focused on understanding the Lee-Yang theorem which is a beautiful theorem in statistical physics related to the occurrence of phase transitions in the Ising model.
- In my mathematics thesis, I explored the visual boundaries of hyperbolic spaces, an amazing example for the interplay between geometric objects and their isometry groups.
- My master’s dissertation delved into Pansu’s quasi-isometric rigidity theorem, which is a deep result in geometric group theory about the rigidity of large-scale geometries of quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and the octonionic hyperbolic plane under quasiisometries, and has fascinating relations to the geometry of Carnot groups.
- Moreover, I did a research internship at the University of Warsaw, working on a project about realising quantum simulators using ultracold Rydberg atoms in circular and elliptic states. You can read more about this in my report about my project or in our preprint.
Teaching
Throughout most of my undergraduate studies, I had the privilege of sharing my passion for mathematics and physics by tutoring linear algebra, theoretical physics and differential geometry.
