I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Mathematical Institute, where I work on the history and philosophy of mathematics.

I am primarily interested in the history of geometry, with a focus on the shaping of novel ways of writing mathematical propositions, computations, and proofs. In turn, my research locates these technical developments within a broader cultural and intellectual context.
