Research

I am an Associate Professor in Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. My research interest lies in combinatorics, more specifically in extremal graph theory. I am currently supported by the EPSRC grant 'Ramsey theory: an extremal perspective' EP/V048287/1. From March 2021 to February 2024, I was supported by an EPSRC grant 'Matchings and tilings in graphs' EP/V002279/1. From November 2016 to October 2018, I was supported by an EPSRC first grant EP/P002420/1 titled "A graph theoretical approach for combinatorial designs".

Previously, I was a research fellow at the University of Birmingham (working with Prof. Daniela Kühn and Prof. Deryk Osthus) and a postdoctoral fellow at Umea University, Sweden, (working with Docent. Klas Markström). I got my PhD degree at the University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Thomason. The title of my PhD thesis is "Cliques in Graphs".

I am currently supervising a PhD student Debmalya Bandyopadhyay. My previous PhD students are Nicolás Sanhueza-Matamala (2015-19) and Vincent Pfenninger (2018-2022).
