1.1   Education

I grew up in Zürich, Switzerland, and discovered my affinity for mathematics while participating in many national and international mathematics competitions during my high school years at MNG Rämibühl. In 2018, I attended the PROMYS Europe Summer School in Oxford where I got my first taste of academia. For my high school graduation project in 2019, I wrote an exposition entitled On the Probabilistic Method and Permutations.

Undergrad

I received my bachelor’s (BA) and master’s (MMath) degrees in 2023 after completing the full Mathematical Tripos at Trinity College of the University of Cambridge. Enjoying a wide range of courses on pure mathematics, I soon discovered my passion for its foundations, in particular logic and computation theory. I wrote my final master’s project (Part III Essay) entitled Transfinite Context-Free Generative Grammars on extensions of classical formal language results to words of transfinite length.

At Cambridge University, the Master’s of Arts (MA) degree is conferred by right on holders a certain amount of time after the beginning of their bachelor’s studies. This will apply to me after spring 2026.

I was honoured to be elected president of the Trinity Mathematical Society, as well as captain at the Cambridge University Ultimate Club Strange Blue.
