I am a professor at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. I obtained my PhD at McGill University in 2010. I enjoyed a Ritt Assistant Professor position at Columbia University, a visiting position at the MPIM Bonn, and a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship at the University of Warwick before joining UAB in 2017 firstly as a Ramon y Cajal Research Fellow.

My main research interest is the explicit construction of conjectural points and periods in abelian varieties using local analytic methods. With Xavier Guitart and other coauthors we have been building an ample body of evidence towards several conjectures involving these quantities.
