About me

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Heriot-Watt University.

My main research area is geometric group theory, specifically the study of group actions in presence of non-positive curvature. Lately, I have been particularly interested in Artin groups and their geometry.

Between March 2019 and Feburary 2022, I was the Project Lead of the EPSRC Project “Geometry of Artin Group Actions” (or GAGA for short).

Together with Laura Ciobanu, I am the coordinator of the North British Geometric Group Theory research network.

I am currently an editor of the Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society (group theory and generalisations).

New: Postdoctoral position

I am currently advertising a 3-year postdoctoral position in geometric group theory, starting in September 2025, funded by the EPSRC project "The Geometry of the Isomorphism Problem for Artin Groups". More information about the position and on how to apply is available at this link (deadline to apply: Wed 30 April).
