I am a Research Fellow in mathematics at University College London funded by EPSRC Early Career Fellowship: EP/V001760/1 (P.I. Jeffrey Galkowski).

I work in microlocal analysis and spectral theory, currently on quasimodes and eigenfunction concentration, and more broadly on geometric mechanics (sub-Riemannian geometry), harmonic analysis on groups, and inverse problems.
