I am a DPhil (i.e. PhD) student in the number theory group at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof. Damian Rössler and Dr. Jan Vonk. I am supported by an Aker scholarship. Before coming to Oxford, I did a BSc (Hons) at the University of Edinburgh with my third year spent at Caltech.
My research interests are broadly speaking in arithmetic geometry, in particular the arithmetic of elliptic curves, explicit class field theory and p-adic approaches to singular moduli of real quadratic fields.
