I am a theoretical physicist working on quantum simulations of synthetic matter and topological photonics.
My research connects topological band theory, driven (Floquet) systems, and non-Hermitian/open dynamics, with applications to photonics, plasmonics, and ultracold atoms—ranging from bound states in the continuum to synthetic dimensions.
I have secured ~€1M in external funding through competitive national and European fellowships (Marie Curie, Academy of Finland, Rita Levi Montalcini). Read more about funded projects and fellowships.

A perspective on topological photonics in nanoscaled systems
Topology has become a powerful tool for controlling light and protecting photonic properties against imperfections. Most approaches in photonics have...
