- Posted four expositionary math notes (2025-2026) on his site, including his UCPH bachelor project on the Mirkovic-Vilonen Geometric Satake equivalence supervised by Jesper Grodal, and a solid six-functor formalism note supplementing a talk in the TopTop seminar course taught by Lars Hesselholt.Jun 2026
- Published four expositionary notes (2025-2026) on his site, including his UCPH bachelor project supervised by Jesper Grodal and a solid six-functor-formalism note supplementing a talk he gave in the TopTop seminar course taught by Lars Hesselholt - his writing targets working mathematicians, not olympiad students.Jun 2026
- Competed for the University of Copenhagen at the 2024 IMC (International Mathematics Competition for University Students), scoring 21 points - he kept competing at university level after his IMO years.2024
- Went to Marie Kruses Skole and was selected into Denmark's IMO squad from there, so his route ran through the Danish high-school competition pipeline (Georg Mohr / Science Olympiads) rather than an elite specialist school.2022
