About
I'm a PhD candidate at the Center for Macroscopic Quantum States (bigQ) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), working under the supervision of Jonatan Bohr Brask and Urlik Lund Andersen. I hold a Master's degree from the Niels Bohr Institute (University of Copenhagen). I completed the Master's program in high-energy theory in 2021, with a thesis on the theory of complexity in AdS/CFT supervised by Stefano Baiguera and Troels Harmark.
My current work aims to develop experiments that test the quantization of gravity at low energies, borrowing tools from quantum information theory and quantum optics. I'm also interested in questions in the foundations of quantum mechanics and their overlap with gravitational physics.
