research
I’m a postdoctoral fellow at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics, in Bilbao, Spain. I’m also part of the Nquire group Quantum Computing and Architectures, led by Dr Mikel Sanz.
We are currently working on quantum metrology for rotational systems, among other things.
I’m interested in quantum foundations and the interplay between gravity and quantum effects. I enjoy and have experience teaching at graduate level (quantum information courses at the University of Lisbon). I’ve co-directed an undergraduate final research project (“Information completeness and quantum tomography”), which was a very pleasant experience.

During my PhD I made a 3D model with Blender for the paper Bi-frequency illumination: a quantum-enhanced protocol that made it to the cover of the journal:
