My research focuses on cosmology,exploring the very first moments of our Universe’s evolution and tracing the signals imprinted from that epoch.
About me
I completed my MSc in theoretical physics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany, followed by a PhD at Leiden University in the Netherlands. I then joined the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (Nordita) in Stockholm, Sweden, first as a postdoctoral researcher and subsequently as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow. I am currently a Junior Research Leader at Nordita, supported by a four-year Starting Grant from the Swedish Research Council.
My research explores the early Universe through theoretical cosmology, connecting fundamental models to observable phenomena such as gravitational waves, primordial magnetic fields, and the nature of dark matter. I aim to uncover the hidden physics of the cosmos and bring these insights closer to observation.
