I have completed my Ph.D. at the University of Bristol in 2018 under the supervision of Corinna Ulcigrai.

From April to August 2018, I was a Research Associate at the University of Bristol, from September 2018 to February 2019 I was a Postdoctoral Assistant at the University of Zürich, from March 2019 to May 2021 I was a Research Fellow at Monash University, and from June 2021 to February 2024 I was a Postdoctoral Assistant at the University of Vienna.

Since March 2024, I am a Chaire de Professeur Junior CNRS at the Laboratoire Paul Painlevé of the Université de Lille.

Here you can find my full CV.

I study the ergodic and mixing properties of some classes of smooth dynamical systems, in both the finite and infinite measure setting.

I focus on smooth parabolic flows, including locally Hamiltonian flows on surfaces, nilflows, unipotent flows, and their smooth perturbations. I am also interested in their rigidity properties.
