I did mathematics olympiads as a student in Romania and went on to do a degree at Oxford University in Mathematics & Computer Science.

I am currently doing a PhD at King’s College London under the supervision of Peter Jossen. The project concerns itself with motivic fundamental groups but for the moment I’m mainly learning as much geometry and number theory as I can.

For my masters project at Oxford, I worked on problems related to decidability of matrix multiplication problems. In particular, I showed that it’s a decidable problem whether there exist positive integers \(a,b,c,d\) such that \(A^a  B^b  C^c  D^d = T\) where \(A, B, C, D, T\) are given \(2\times 2\) upper-triangular integer matrices.
