About me

I am a 5th year PhD student at ETH Zürich working under the supervision of Prof. Tristan Rivière. I am interested in Geometric Analysis, in particular in variational problems arising in symplectic geometry, and more generally in regularity questions for minimal surfaces. I am currently in the job market, looking for a postdoctoral position starting in September 2025.

In my PhD I have investigated the regularity theory of critical points of the area functional restricted to Lagrangian and Legendrian submanifolds, and the possible structure of their singularities.

Previously I completed my Master's degree in Cambridge (Part III). Before that, I did my Bachelor's thesis under Prof. Javier Gómez-Serrano as a visitor in Princeton University, with a project in spectral geometry.
