Hey! I am Ziad (he/him), a current doctoral student at the University of Liverpool since October 2024. I am a member of the ACTO and NDC groups. I work under the guidance of Sebastian Wild, Nikhil Mande and Viktor Zamaraev. Prior to this, I completed my Master’s degree at the University of York under the guidance of Detlef Plump.
Note: My surname is “Ismaili Alaoui,” in full. My first name is “Ziad.” I do not have a middle name.
