About
I’m a postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley, currently working in the group of Boubacar Kanté. I’m passionate about open quantum systems and photonics, and I like to work on experimentally feasible projects with with strong numerical pushes.
Beyond Physics, my interests also embrace Mathematics, computers and tech in general, reading (mostly sci-fi books), biking and playing piano.
