About

I am a PhD student at Sorbonne University / Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu–Paris Rive Gauche (IMJ-PRG), where I began my doctoral studies in January 2025 under the supervision of Karim Adiprasito. Broadly speaking, I am interested in the interplay between algebra, geometry, and combinatorics, in particular through commutative algebra, toric geometry, and combinatorial Hodge theory.

I am supported by the Osk. Huttunen Foundation. For the 2025–2026 academic year, I was visiting David Speyer at the University of Michigan as a Fulbright grantee, funded by a Fulbright-Technology Industries of Finland grant.

Prior to my PhD, I completed an MSc in Mathematics (2024) and a BSc in Engineering Physics and Mathematics (2023) at Aalto University.
