I do research in maths, and in particular I am intersted in motivic approaches to study singularities. This lies in the intersection of homotopy theory and algebraic geometry, and with applications to singularity theory and arithmetic.
I study invariants which often lie in the Grothendieck-Witt ring of the base field; these invariants refine integer-valued invariants of enumerative geometry, and contain information on schemes over different bases.
During November-December 2026, I am visiting at the SLMath (MSRI) special semester in motivic homotopy theory.
I am currently a senior postdctoral fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science, in the research group of Shachar Carmeli.
Before that, I was a postdoc at the IMJ-PRG and the LAGA Laboratoire in Paris, as part of the group of Yonatan Harpaz.
I was also a postdoc in Joseph Ayoub's research group at the University of Zurich. I completed my PhD at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Marc Levine's group.
Some projects, completed or in progress:
A motivic refinement for the Milnor formula on quasi-homogeneous singularities, based on my PhD thesis (Journal of Algebra, 2025).
A preprint on the Picard-Lefschetz formula for motives, joint with Emil Jacobsen.
Expository notes on computing motivic nearby cycles and their monodromy at a singular point, written for the PCMI 2024 volume.
A work on a higher motivic Euler characteristic, with Anubhav Nanavaty, and Jesse Pajwani.
A
preprint
on defining motivic Euler classes for singular varieties.
A work in progress about the structure of the Jacobian algebra for plane curves, with Eduardo de Lorenzo Poza
and Felipe Espreafico Guelerman.
A work in progress about motivic and real DT invariants, with Felipe Espreafico Guelerman.
A work in progress on a trace formula for singularity categories with duality, with Niels Feld, Yonatan Harpaz, Tasos Moulinos, and Simon Pepin Lehalleur.
