I am a theoretical physicist working on quantum simulations of synthetic matter at Aalto University.

My research topics include topological phases of matter, bound states in the continuum, Floquet physics, non-Hermitian physics, and synthetic dimensions in plasmonics, photonics and ultracold atoms. Curious? Read more about my research, or see my latest publications.

I have obtained about 1m€ in total external funding from competitive national and European fellowships (Marie-Curie, Academy of Finland, and Levi-Montalcini). Read more about my projects.
