About

I'm an EPSRC Research Fellow at the University of Oxford (Computer Science).
I'm also Junior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall as part of the New Renaissance Project.
I'm joining Warwick (Computer Science) as Assistant Professor in March 2027.

I serve as Associate Chaplain at the Oxford Pastorate (focusing on the postdoc community). If you are in Oxford and would like to grab a coffee and chat, just reach out!

Previously, I was a postdoc hosted by Rahul Santhanam (2025-2026) and Ján Pich (2024-2025). I obtained my PhD at the University of Warwick (DCS, FoCS), where I was advised by Igor Carboni Oliveira. Even before that, I was a MSc student at the University of São Paulo (IME-USP, TCCO), where I was advised by Yoshiharu Kohayakawa. During that time I was also a visiting graduate student at the University of Toronto (CS, Theory), advised by Benjamin Rossman.
