About Me

I am a PhD student in the Correlated Quantum Materials group at Aalto University, Finland. I work in condensed matter theory and light-matter interactions. I am presently focused on van de Waals multiferroics. My interests in condensed matter range from magnetism and topology to disorder and quasicrystals, as well as nano and quantum optics. I also enjoy reading about quantum information theory and quantum computation, applications of quantum field theory to condensed matter, and a variety of mathematical concepts. Find more about my readings in this blog!
