I am currently a postdoc at Humboldt Universität Berlin, under the supervision of Bruno Klingler. Before that, I made stops at BU Wuppertal, UGA, and FU Berlin, where I was an NSF postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Hélène Esnault. I finished my PhD at Columbia University, where my advisor was Johan de Jong. Here is a CV.


I am interested in arithmetic geometry and Hodge theory in all of its incarnations. I am also interested in algebraic cryptography, interactive proof systems, the PCP theorem, and verifiable computation.

Over the last few years, I have mostly thought about l-adic local systems and overconvergent F-isocrystals on smooth varieties over finite fields. I am also especially interested in p-divisible groups on complete varieties over finite fields and central leaves on Shimura varieties. For a brief description of how I started studying these objects, please see here.

I've learned a lot of math from my graduate school friends Stéphane Benoist, Aaron Bernstein, Phil Engel, and Michael McBreen
