About me

I am a theoretical quantum physicist, working at the intersection of quantum information and condensed matter. I am an expert in the theory of open quantum systems and their information exchange with the environment. More generally, I am interested in the interconnection of different physical theories and in collective and emergent phenomena such as irreversibility and decoherence.

As a research fellow at the University of Nottingham, I was working on quantum systems in complex environments, such as two-level system defects in mechanical quantum devices, similar to other amorphous materials like glasses and superconducting qubits. Such devices are promising for quantum sensing and for studying macroscopic aspects of quantum physics. I further studied radical pair based magnetosensing under realistic molecular noise and symmetry-based and information-geometric frameworks for Bayesian quantum sensing.

For my PhD at the University of Exeter, I worked on quantum thermodynamics close to the absolute zero, researching energy and information exchange of quantum systems and their environments. In particular, I studied the dynamics of open quantum systems in ultracold environments and the application of quantum metrology to low-temperature thermometry. Before that, I worked as a mathematician in social insurance and studied at ETH Zurich.
