Research interest
My current research is on solving and deducing properties of first-order conservation partial differential equations by using random graphs and branching processes. This fits into my broader interest of representing/solving partial differential equations using stochastic processes.

Employment
I am currently a fourth year PhD Student at Utrecht University. My supervisor is Dr. Ivan Kryven. Previously, I was a student in applied mathematics and applied physics at Delft University of Technology where I wrote my master’s thesis under Prof. Mark Veraar and Dr. Manuel Gnann.
Teaching
I have been involved as a student assistant in several courses:
- Mathematical statistical mechanics, masters course (2023/2024, 2024/2025)
- Analysis, first year course (2022/2023, 2023/2024)
- Calculus and linear algebra, first year course (2022/2023)
- Modelling with ODEs and PDEs, third year course (2022/2023)
- Statistics, second year course (2021/2022)
- Introduction to numerical analysis (2021/2022)
- Introduction to probability and statistics, first year course (2021)
There are a lot of great digital tools out there to make life easier for you, but you may not know about them! Hence, I list some of the tools I use below. While most of my work as a mathematician still happens with pen and paper, I mostly use (and highly recommend!) the following tools:
- PARA method for information management. Link
- LaTeX in VSCode with VIM and Copilot plugins. For more, see the great blogs by Gilles Castel and Leandro Chiarni.
- Git during the writing process. This is particularly useful if you are making big modifications to a paper and may want to go back a version. This can also be combined with Overleaf.
- Mathematica for most simple on-paper computations.
Personal
Some hobbies in arbitrary order: Reading (add me on Goodreads), weight-lifting, running/walking/cycling, skiing.
