My research is on algebraic and complex geometry, with focus on birational geometry of varieties of Fano type, moduli spaces and computational algebraic geometry.

NEWS

• From 1st September 2026, together with Mario García-Fernández (ICMAT), I will be co-PI of a “Generación del Conocimiento” grant by the Spanish Ministry for Science, Innovation and Universities, for the project “DUKES: Dualities, K-stability, and special holonomy“. The project has a sister project, “HISMO: Higgs bundles, integrable systems and moment-map equations” led by Óscar García-Prada and Luis Álvarez Cónsul (ICMAT). The two projects are under a shared structure called “GEMS: Geometric structures, moduli spaces, and dualities”. A website for the project will be published in the Autumn.
  
  I expect to supervise a PhD student at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid under a 4-year contract supported by the project . Possible topics include birational geometry, K-stability, computational Geometric Invariant Theory and moduli of varieties. The start date will be at some point in 2027 (probably on or before summer 2027). There will be a very short application window. If you want me to keep you in the loop about application deadlines and conditions, please write me an e-mail.
• From 01 September 2026 I will be working at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid as a “Ramón y Cajal Fellow” (Contratado Ramón y Cajal). Learn more about this programme here.
