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. I also participated in various extracurricular mathematics programs, including the UZH Junior Euler Society, the ETH Youth Academy, and the PROMYS Europe summer school in Oxford, which was one of the main reasons I went on to study in the UK.

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 under Benedikt Löwe.

In spring 2026, I was conferred an honorary Master’s of Arts (MA) degree, as is custom after undergraduate studies at the University of Cambridge.
