Research

I am broadly interested in algebraic geometry. Most of my time is spent thinking about Cremona groups, Galois cohomology, Fano varieties, groups acting on varieties, and representation theory. At the moment, I am investigating automorphisms of del Pezzo surfaces over primarily number fields.
