As of August 2018, I have moved to Utrecht University

My CV is available here.

Research
I am interested in geometry of zeros, tropical geomtry and (co)amoebas, toric geometry and polytopes, and A-hypergeometric functions.

I am currently a Post-doctorant (Postdoctoral Scholar) at Université de Genève, where my mentor is Professor Grigory Mikhalkin. Before, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University, mentored by Professor Laura Felicia Matusevich. I obtained my Ph.D. at Stockholm University under the supervision of Professor Boris Shapiro. I was a student of Mikael Passare at the time of his death.
