About Me

I am interested in all applications of abstract mathematics to nature and technology. Currently, I am finishing my Master's in Applied Mathematics with specialization in theoretical physics, as well as completing my didactic certificate for mathematics.

My current research focuses on exotic phases of quantum matter using tools from algebraic topology. To be precise, I am woking on classifying (para)fermionic invertible topological phases in 1+1D via group cohomology. I am also collaborating on the design of a superconducting platform to simulate curved spaces and manifolds. I wrote my first reserach project in 2020, which described a higher-dimensional group testing protocol to identify COVID-19 infections.

I am a fellow of the Swiss Study Foundation since 2023. I currently volunteer for a Swiss non-partisan voting education organization.
