About me

Short Biography

I was born in a place called Gazi-Mammad, which now is renamed to Hajigabul, and grew up in a small village Çuxanlı (on the map, it is in Salyan) and Baku, Azerbaijan. I went to the university in Baku and then continued my studies in Moscow and Hamburg.

I completed my Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics at Humboldt-University Berlin in 2016 with Jan Plefka.

From 2015 to 2017, I was a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute Potsdam-Golm working in the Quantum Gravity and Unified Theories group.

I am also a visiting faculty at the Mathematics department, Khazar University (Baku, Azerbaijan) and on leave of absence from the Institute of Radiation Problems ANAS (Baku, Azerbaijan).
