About
I am an Emily Erskine Endowment Fund Postdoctoral Researcher Fellow at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem working with Ari Shnidman. From September 2023, I will be the inaugural Edixhoven Postdoctoral Fellow at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University.
I defended my PhD in Mathematics on May 20, 2021 at McGill University under the supervision of Henri Darmon. I obtained my BSc and MSc in Mathematics from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne under the supervision of Eva Bayer-Fluckiger. I wrote my master thesis during an exchange semester at Harvard University under the supervision of Benedict Gross. I was born in Denmark and grew up in France.

Research interests
My interests lie in algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry
with a special emphasis on modular forms, elliptic curves, algebraic cycles
and special values of L-functions.
I am also interested in rational points on higher genus curves.
