I work in Algebraic Geometry, in particular I am interested in derived categories and the Grothendieck ring of varieties, with applications in Birational Geometry, singularities and Algebraic K-theory.

In 2020-2023 my work on derived categories of singularities is supported by an EPSRC grant Derived categories and algebraic K-theory of singularities.

Note to the editors on refereeing papers
Note to the editors on refereeing papers
In 2024 I have refereed 8 papers. The average time between my agreement to referee and the first report was on average 135 days (median: 144 days, maximum 242 days). I try to write rejection reports quickly and I write positive reports on most papers that I agree to referee after reading the paper in full detail.
As serious refereeing takes a lot of time and effort, I am selective about what I referee and unfortunately usually I can not referee papers in 90 days as some journals request: only 25% of the papers I refereed were done in less than 90 days.
I aim to give quick opinions within two weeks.
Keywords: derived categories, especially of singular varieties or Fano varieties, various obstructions in rationality problems, Grothendieck ring of varieties, sometimes algebraic K-theory and Chow groups or motives, especially when there are applications in birational geometry.
