Some more words About me
Since young teenager, I fell in love with mathematics. At first, I was mainly interested in them for their applications in computer science, in particular for video-game development. Later, I discovered their intrinsic beauty and fascinating behaviour.
I started learning about knot theory in third grade, thanks to Pedro Vaz, through my bachelor thesis about HOMFLY-PT polynomial and the Iwahori-Hecke algebra.
I continued my journey with Pedro in my master thesis, where I constructed and studied an odd version of Khovanov arc algebra. Then, I did a PhD thesis, still with Pedro. Together, we developed the theory of categorified Verma modules for quantum Kac-Moody algebras.
Then I was a postdoc at the Max-Planck institute for Mathematics in the algebra and representation theory group of Catharina Stroppel.
I'm currently an Aspirant Air Traffic Controller at Skeyes.
