research

Broadly, my research interests lie in algebraic geometry. Currently, I am focused on the study of singularities in birational geometry, e.g. I am interested in questions concerned with the behaviour of singularities and their invariants under birational transformations.


  1.  Towards a geometric version of the monodromy conjecture. In preparation.

  2.  On 1/2 of the monodromy conjecture for non-degenerate hypersurfaces. In preparation.

  3.  Invariants of singularities in arbitrary characteristic, with Dan Abramovich and Bernd Schober. In preparation.

  4.  Resolving plane curves using weighted blow-ups: imperfect field method, with Dan Abramovich and Bernd Schober. In preparation.

  5.  Logarithmic resolution of singularities in characteristic 0 using weighted blow-ups, with Dan Abramovich, André Belotto, Michael Temkin, Jarosław Włodarczyk. Submitted, March 2025.

  6.  Resolving plane curves using stack-theoretic blow-ups, with Dan Abramovich and Bernd Schober. Submitted, December 2024.

  7.  The K-moduli space of a family of conic bundle threefolds, with Kristin DeVleming, Lena Ji and Patrick Kennedy-Hunt. Submitted, March 2024.

  8.  Around the motivic monodromy conjecture for non-degenerate hypersurfaces. manuscripta mathematica 173, 2024, 1015-1059. (talk)

  9.  Weighted blow-ups, with David Rydh. In preparation. Draft available here.

  10.  Logarithmic resolution via multi-weighted blow-ups, with Dan Abramovich. Épijournal de Géométrie Algébrique 8, 2024. (talk)

  11.  Logarithmic resolution via weighted toroidal blow-ups. Algebraic Geometry 9(3), 2022, 311-363.
