About me

I am a design engineer at ASML in the Netherlands. Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Mathematical Sciences at Swansea University, working with Biagio Lucini and Jeff Giansiracusa. My interests were in applications of TDA, particularly to statistical physics and particle physics.
