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 and tensor network methods. 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!
