My research is in number theory, and its connections with geometry and dynamics. I am in particular interested in counting and equidistribution problems involving arithmetic and geometric data. Before joining UZH, I was a senior research associate at ETH (Oberassistentin) and a Hill assistant professor at Rutgers University.

Conference: Dynamics and Groups

Corinna Ulcigrai and I are organizing this year's Swiss Mathematical Society autumn conference on Dynamics and Groups. Speakers and registration are here.

International Seminar on Automorphic Forms

This year, I am organizing with Yingkun Li and Riccardo Zuffetti the online international seminar on automorphic forms. More to come soon!
