Research interests
I work in the area of algebraic geometry where it intersects homological algebra, representation theory, and theoretical physics. In particular, the study of derived categories of both geometric and algebraic origin has been a running theme of my research. I'm currently particularly interested in derived categories of gentle algebras and spaces of Bridgeland stability conditions.

Conferences organised
- In 2023 I organised the conference Quivers, Clusters, Moduli and Stability (a conference in honor of Alastair King’s 60th birthday) at University of Oxford, UK.
- In 2021 I organised the LMS Women in Mathematics workshop with Yinghui Wei, Colin Christopher, and Daniel Robertz.
- In 2018 I organised a conference on Geometry, Derived categories and Moduli spaces with Marina Logares.
