About Me
I am a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Igor Pikovski's group at Stevens Institute of Technology. Previously, I was in Prof. Timothy Ralph's theory group at the University of Queensland. I completed my Ph.D. on fundamental aspects of quantum foundations, field theory, and gravity under the supervision of Prof. Ralph and Dr. Magdalena Zych. I am a recipient of the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded by the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
My research interests lie at the intersection of quantum theory and gravity. I am interested in problems such as the phenomenology of spacetime superpositions, quantum tests of gravity and quantum gravity, time dilation in quantum systems, and foundations of quantum mechanics. Recently I have branched into topics such as quantum sensing and measurement theory.
