ABOUT ME

I am a postdoctoral fellow funded by the Swiss national science foundation grant "Ambizione". I work at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland. 

Previously, I was funded by a Marie Curie-EPFL cofund fellowship. In Fall 2020, I will start a tenure track professorship at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. 

I work in the area of topological and combinatorial group theory. My work so far concerns concepts such as amenability, finiteness properties of groups, and Tarski numbers. I have studied various families of groups acting on the circle, such as groups of piecewise projective homeomorphisms. My recent work has been focused on the construction and study of finitely generated and finitely presented simple groups of homeomorphisms of 1-manifolds.
