research
I’m a postdoc at the PQI – Portuguese Quantum Institute, with affiliation at The Center of Physics and Engineering of Advanced Materials (CeFEMA), at Instituto Superior Técnico, in Lisbon, Portugal.
I’m interested in quantum foundations, general relativity, the interplay between gravity and quantum effects, and quantum estimation theory. I enjoy and have experience teaching at graduate level.
