Biography

I'm a research fellow at the Simons Institute at UC Berkeley for the semester program Pseudorandomness & High-Dimensional Expansion. In January 2027, I will join the research group of Piotr Nowak at the IM PAN in Warsaw as a postdoc for two years.

I obtained my PhD in Mathematics at Ghent University under the supervision of Tom De Medts. My position was part of the EOS-project "High-dimensional expanders and Kac-Moody-Steinberg groups" which is in cooperation with Pierre-Emmanuel Caprace and Timothée Marquis from UCLouvain.

I am interested in studying buildings, in particular their opposite complexes, simplicial (co)homology theory as well as various aspects of group theory, geometry and combinatorics. My past work was focused on constructing new high-dimensional expanders using the rich structure provided by Kac-Moody-Steinberg groups. In my free time, I like to play ultimate frisbee and bake fresh sourdough bread.
