About



Completed my PhD in June 2025 entitled “Deforming Prestacks: a box operadic approach” under the supervision of Wendy Lowen at the University of Antwerp.

Operads // Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry // Deformation Theory

My interests lie at the intersection of algebraic topology, noncommutative algebraic geometry and homotopical algebra. I study all kinds of higher structures and their deformations theories, with a main focus on applying combinatorial and homological methods. This includes operads and their variations, higher categories and prestacks, deformation complexes, Koszul duality and Gerstenhaber-Schack cohomology.
