I am currently a cryptography researcher, working at Irreducible. Formerly, I was 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 I was lucky to have had Johan de Jong as my advisor. Here is a (mildly outdated) CV.

I work on succinct and verifiable computation over (towers of) binary fields. As a result, I am especially interested in error-correcting codes, proximity gaps, and the PCP theorem.
In pure mathematics, my research was in the field of arithmetic geometry, with motivation often coming from both abelian and non-abelian Hodge theory. More precisely, I mostly thought about ell-adic local systems and overconvergent F-isocrystals on smooth varieties over finite fields. I also developed an interest in p-curvature and MCG-finite representations. 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 Boris Alexeev, Stéphane Benoist, Aaron Bernstein, Phil Engel, and Michael McBreen
