I am a Humboldt fellow at Universität Bonn hosted by Professor Giles Gardam. Before that I was a postdoctoral research associate in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford working as part of Professor Dawid Kielak's team. Before that (2018-2021), I was a PhD student at the University of Southampton under the supervision of Professor Ian Leary. Even before that (2014-2018), I completed an MMath degree at the University of South Wales. Originally I am from Wales.
I am interested in the interactions between group theory and topology. Most recently, I have been interested in profinite rigidity of groups, Kähler groups, \(\ell^2\)-invariants, torsion homology growth, and the isomorphism conjectures in \(K\)-theory. I have also been interested in lattices in locally compact groups, quasi-isometries of pairs, (bi)automatic groups, generalisations of hyperbolicity, finiteness properties, and the representation theory of finite groups. My research has appeared in Quanta Magazine and Epsiloon.
I am organising the workshop Automorphism groups in Bonn. I am one of the organisers of Groups and Geometry in North Rhine-Westphalia. More infomation can be found on the website here.
With Stefanie Zbinden I organised a junior research retreat. With Vladimir Vankov and Kevin Li, I organised ``Modern methods in infinite groups'' in celebration of Ian Leary's 60th birthday. The website can be found here. With Sam Fisher and Paweł Piwek we organised `Profinite and residual methods around geometric group theory as part of `Nearly Carbon Neutral Geometric Topology 2023'. All the wonderful talks can be found on the webpage or this YouTube playlist. With Matthew Collins, Amina Ladjali, Kevin Li, and Vladimir Vankov we organised the conference Postgraduate Group Theory 2020 (PGTC 2020).
I organised the Bonn GGT seminar for Wintersomester 2025-2026, see here. At Oxford I organised the Fridays at 4 seminar during Hillary term 2021/2022. At Southampton I was one of the organisers of the interdisciplinary seminar series Maths and Mingle (January 2019 - August 2020). You can read more about Maths and Mingle in our article in the May 2020 edition of the LMS newsletter.
