I completed my Ph.D. at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the University of Waterloo in 2020. Following this, I have been awarded various prestigious fellowships, including the Fields-PI-AIMS-Postdoctoral Fellow in Canada and the Humboldt Research Fellow in Germany. I am currently part of the Emmy Noether research group at Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena.
My research work has contributed to the development of theoretical and computational methods in background-independent approaches to Quantum Gravity. My work within Loop Quantum Gravity and Spin foam models explores how these non-perturbative discrete methods can shed light on the fundamental nature of 'quantum space-time'. My interests extend to how these theories can be connected to observable phenomena, potentially leading to tests of features of quantum geometry at smallest scales. I also work in applying tools from numerical algebraic geometry to tackle problems in mathematics and physics.
Beyond my research, I enjoy science outreach and education. I have volunteered in various programs, including math camps and community outreach initiatives, where I aim to inspire young minds to develop a passion for mathematics and physics.
