Interests:

My interests lie in the fields of Arithmetic Geometry and Motivic Homotopy Theory. Currently, I am thinking about motivic cohomology of mixed-characteristic schemes (see preprint [4] below) and torsors under parahoric group schemes (upcoming work).

My MR Author ID is 1551361. Here is my arXiv link.



Preprints

  1. Beilinson-Lichtenbaum phenomenon for motivic cohomology (with Tess Bouis), submitted, 2025.

    We show that motivic cohomology recovers algebraic cycles. We also prove a purity result over deeply-ramified bases. The latter could provide a cohomological refinement of an ingredient in Nizioł's proof of the crystalline conjecture.

  2. Isotropic torsors on smooth algebras over Prüfer rings, submitted, 2025.

    We demonstrate that a generically trivial torsor under a totally isotropic reductive group scheme on a smooth algebra over a valuation ring of rank one is trivial. This generalises the results of my thesis, which proved the same in the case of quasi-split groups.

  3. Gersten's injectivity for smooth algebras over valuation rings, submitted, 2024.

    We prove that the K-groups of the local rings of smooth algebras over valuation rings containing a field inject inside the K-groups of their fraction fields.


Publications

  1. Tilting correspondences of perfectoid rings, J. Ramanujan Math. Soc. 38, No. 1 (2023) 23–32, journal.

    We establish Scholze's tilting equivalences of étale cohomology of perfectoid rings algebraically, i.e., without using tools from almost ring theory or adic spaces.


Thesis
  • Torsors on Smooth Algebras over Valuation Rings, CNRS-HAL Id : tel-04129990 (2023).

    We demonstrate that a generically trivial torsor under a quasi-split reductive group scheme on a smooth algebra over a valuation ring of rank one is trivial.
