Home Research Teaching & Seminars Miscellaneous

I am a Whyburn Research Associate and Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Virginia. My interests lie in p-adic Hodge theory and arithmetic geometry in general.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Mathematics of Michigan State University. I obtained my PhD at Purdue University under the supervision of Tong Liu. Before that, I did my Bachelor's and Master's studies at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague, studying homological algebra.

My mathematical interests are:

  • p-adic Galois representations and p-adic Hodge theory
  • algebraic and arithmetic geometry
  • homological algebra
